NEW DELHI: Researchers have developed an online tool that can calculate the extent to which blood pressure medicines prescribed by a doctor will be effective, potentially allowing treatment to be tailored to suit a patient’s needs.
The team, including researchers from The George Institute for Global Health in Australia and India, built the tool after reviewing and analysing data from nearly 500 previously published studies involving over a lakh participants.
Described in a paper in The Lancet journal, the ‘Blood Pressure Treatment Efficacy Calculator’ allows doctors to prescribe medicines based on the degree to which a patient’s blood pressure needs to be lowered.
