Abstract

We have developed a new home blood pressure (BP) monitoring system by using cellular telephone and the Internet. All data of home BP and pulse rate were directly collected by I-converter date collecting system and sent online to a main server constructed in a central data center. The home doctor can monitor the exercise data of each patient by using this system. This home BP monitoring system was directly connected to the Internet by using application service provider technology (ASP). Anytime and anywhere, each patient can check the changes of these parameters by themselves by using cellular telephone and/or the Internet. The average of the data was calculated and demonstrated online. In real time, all data were monitored and sent to the home doctor's office. In the present study, we tried to use this monitoring system to compare the effect of some antihypertensive drugs on home BP. To compare the effects of telmisartan (TEL) and amlodipine (AM) on home BP, home BP was monitored for eight weeks using this telemedicine system. The target point of office BP was 140/90 mmHg or less. After two weeks control period, telmisartan (TEL group: 20-80 mg/day, n = 21) or amlodipine (AM group: 2.5-10 mg/day, n = 19) was orally administrate...Continue Reading

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
