Description

Summary

The purpose of the ARTERY Outcomes study is to compare optima-for-blood pressure (optima4BP), a clinical decision support system for hypertension (HTN) treatment optimization to standard of care in patients with essential HTN.

Official Title

ARTERY Outcomes: Tailored Drug Titration Through Artificial Intelligence - an Interventional Study

Details

Nearly 34 million Americans have their blood pressure (BP) uncontrolled. Hypertension (HTN) claims 1000 deaths every day. Despite medication and life-style management, the cost of HTN associated hospitalizations had escalated to $113 billion in 2016, or 15% of all hospital costs, with >135 million Emergency Department (ED) visits.

Uncontrolled HTN for even a few weeks is associated with increased risk for acute cardiovascular (CVD) events [stroke, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI)] and death. Medication treatment optimization to BP goal reduces the incidence of stroke by 35-40%, HF by up to 64%, and MI by 15-25%.

optima-for-blood pressure [optima4BP] transforms the episodic and reactive nature of uncontrolled HTN pharmacological treatment management into a process that is continuous, proactive, and personalized. The innovation simulates the established clinical reasoning treatment decision process undertaken during a patient's visit.

    My clinical interests are heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias in patients with heart failure. Having advanced training in both heart failure and electrophysiology, I practice an integrated approach in treating patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. I am also interested in cardiac recovery using electrical (i.e. cardiac resynchronization) and mechanical (i.e.
