Comparison of Telemedical and Conventional Treatment of Hypertension

The purpose of the study is to compare antihypertensive treatment based on either conventional blood pressure measurements or telemedical home blood pressure measurements.

Hypothesis is that telemedical treatment of hypertension is more effective in lowering blood pressure, is more cost-effective and provides better quality of life.
