SUMMARY
The CHARGE-APP project will investigate whether an innovative management strategy of hypertension based on the combination of usual care visits and ESH CARE App compared to standard care, is associated with differences in outcome, including control rate of office, home and ambulatory BP, cardiovascular and renal intermediate end points at one year, and changes in a number of blood pressure-related variables throughout the study.
