&NA;本文是旨在评估收缩压生物反馈和放松治疗血压升高的一系列研究中的第三篇。它报告了治疗后的随访结果。主要发现是，接受行为治疗的患者可以实现并维持至少18个月的血压降低。此外，一些接受利尿剂治疗以控制血压的患者在停药后能够维持减压至少9个月。提出了一个行为分级护理计划的模型。
&NA; This article is the third in a series of studies designed to evaluate systolic blood pressure biofeedback and relaxation in the treatment of elevated blood pressure. It reports on the posttreatment follow‐up results. The main findings were that patients who received the behavioral treatments could achieve and sustain reductions in blood pressure for at least 18 months. Furthermore, a number of patients who were receiving diuretic therapy to control their pressures were able to maintain reduced pressure for at least 9 months after discontinuing medication. A model for a behavioral‐stepped care program is proposed.
