All patients randomized to the two intervention arms will be provided an easy-to-use home BP monitor . The primary means of BP monitoring will be through the plug and play uploads of their readings to the Microsoft HealthVault application. Participants are asked to take blood pressure readings daily and to upload values to HealthVault weekly. If diabetic, participants are asked to upload glucose values when taken (as recommended by their provider). If participants are unable to upload their readings to the Microsoft HealthVault application, the RA will instruct participants on how to enter values into the application manually. If participants are unable or unwilling to use HealthVault, the study will provide the participant with a document to record their home monitor blood pressure and glucose readings and a self addressed stamped envelope. Every two weeks (bi-weekly), the study will ask the participant to send the readings back to the study staff. The RA will then enter home monitor blood pressure and glucose readings into the Microsoft HealthVault application. In addition to patients' home monitoring information, patients' lab values for non fasting LDL, Hb A1c as well as important safety monitoring parameters will be manually entered into the study's data repository.
