Purpose of this Study
You will get your own blood pressure monitor to use at home. We will teach you how to use it. You will check your blood pressure at home and share the numbers with your doctor's team for 12 months.
The research team will also collect information in other ways, like:
- Visits in person
- Phone calls
- Your medical records
- Medicare data
