Home blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring and pharmacist case management reduce BP, but cost‐effectiveness assessments are mixed. We examined the incremental cost‐effectiveness of this intervention vs usual care in Canadians with cerebrovascular disease. A Markov decision model cost‐utility analysis e...
