VIRONIX RPM SUCCEEDS IN REDUCING BLOOD PRESSURE IN JUST 60 DAYS

Vironix Health is proud to share recent data on the difference that its virtual care management program makes in helping patients with excessively high blood pressure. In just 60 days, patients with chronic kidney disease (#CKD) are benefiting from Vironix Health’s remote patient monitoring (#RPM) with significantly lower blood pressure. 

This graph shows the percent of systolic blood pressure measurements above the maximum threshold of 150 mmHg. At the start of the #VironixHealth RPM program, between 25% and 30% of patients’ measurements exceeded the maximum. That percentage decreased at a statistically significant rate over the next 60 days to between 0% and 15%, as shown by the error bars.

The Importance of Controlling High Blood Pressure

The Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) explains that, “High blood pressure can constrict and narrow the blood vessels, which eventually damages and weakens them throughout the body, including in the kidneys. The narrowing reduces blood flow.” They note that almost 1 in 2 U.S. adults (about 108 million people) have high blood pressure. Further, more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults (about 37 million people) may have CKD. High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States after diabetes.
