At home, participants reduced their typical cigarette consumption by 80% when they had access to IQOS-M versus 37% with IQOS-T (<em>p</em>&lt;0.05).

This study characterized the association between a remote patient monitoring, team-based hypertension intervention and cardiovascular health markers.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This retrospective, single-arm cohort study included patients with uncontrolled hypertension enrolled from February 2022 to July 2024 in the ALTA trial (clinicaltrials.gov NCT03713515) at 5 safety-net practices. The ALTA intervention involves remote patient monitoring supported by a virtual clinic managed by a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, and a community health worker. Demographics, ALTA utilization, and cardiovascular health markers (blood pressure, lipids, glycemic indicators, BMI, and smoking history) at baseline and 12 months were collected. The 5 cardiovascular health markers were scored (0=poor, 1=intermediate, 2=ideal) and summed into a cardiovascular health score. The primary endpoint was a change in the 12-month cardiovascular health score among patients with a baseline score of ≤7. Secondary endpoints included changes in individual non-blood pressure markers among patients with baseline derangements.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among the 568 included patients (mean age: 56 years), most were female, non-Hispanic Black, and English-speaking individuals. Nurse practitioner visits were more common among females (<em>p</em>=0.04), with no other demographics predicting ALTA utilization. The cardiovascular health score improved from 4.5 to 5.2 (<em>n</em>=196, <em>p</em>&lt;0.001), independent of ALTA utilization. Total cholesterol (<em>n</em>=86, <em>p</em>&lt;0.001), low-density lipoprotein (<em>n</em>=128, <em>p</em>&lt;0.001), and triglyceride levels (<em>n</em>=51, <em>p</em>=0.004) also improved. Hemoglobin A<sub>1c</sub> (<em>n</em>=195) dropped among patients with ≥1 nurse practitioner visit (<em>p</em>=0.02). Fasting glucose (<em>n</em>=135) and BMI (<em>n</em>=289) decreased in the highest tertile of nurse practitioner visits (<em>p</em>=0.03) and remote patient monitoring (<em>p</em>=0.02), respectively. Finally, 4 of 27 patients quit smoking.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Remote patient monitoring with team-based support was associated with cardiovascular health improvements.
