This arm will receive a home blood pressure monitor and scale. These data will be reviewed weekly and these data will be shared with the treating provider to inform clinical decisions.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in Mean Arterial Pressure
The investigators will compare the change in mean arterial pressure before and after utilization of the data generated from the home monitoring.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change in Ascites Burden
The investigators will compare the change in ascites burden, defined as the total volume of ascites removed during the study period, before and after utilization of the data generated from the home monitoring.
