2 Aims 1. To test the efficacy of personalized SMS-text message support check-list for initiation of for better blood pressure control at 12 months 2. To enhance our knowledge of hypertension treatment in Finnish primary care

3 Background: Hypertension High blood pressure (BP) is globally the leading risk factor for cardiovascular related diseases 1 Usual BP is strongly related to vascular overall mortality 2 Pharmacological BP reduction by 10/5 mmhg in persons with hypertension decreases strokes by 30 40% severe cardiovascular events by 16 % in 5 years 3,4,5 1.

4 Background: Failure in treatment Most of the patients with antihypertensive do not achieve the BP target in Finl 6 worldwide 7 Poor adherence is the most important factor in failing to control hypertension 8 Even half of patients quit the during the first year 9 6.
