Hypertension affects nearly half of all US adults and is the leading modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. Telehealth medication refills for stable hypertension are among the most evidence-supported telehealth use cases — multiple studies show equivalent BP control outcomes with virtual vs. in-person management for patients on established therapy. Dr. Bhavsar reviews home BP log, current medications and adherence, recent lab results, and symptoms suggestive of target organ damage. Patients with uncontrolled BP (> 160/100 persistent) are directed to in-person evaluation.
