Improvement in Hypertension Control Among Adults Seen in Federally Qualified Health Center Clinics in the Stroke Belt: Implementing a Program with a Dashboard and Process Metrics
Objective: Attain 75% hypertension (HTN) control and improve racial equity in control with the American Medical Association Measure accurately, Act rapidly, Partner with patients blood pressure (AMA MAP BPTM) quality improvement program, including a monthly dashboard and practice facilitation. Methods: Eight federally qualified health center clinics from the HopeHealth network in South Carolina participated. Clinic staff received monthly practice…
Sociodemographic Determinants of Life’s Simple 7: Implications for Achieving Cardiovascular Health and Health Equity Goals
NHBs were the least likely to have optimal scores, despite higher incomes and more education than Hispanics, consistent with structural racism and Hispanic paradox. Programs to optimize lifestyle should begin in childhood to mitigate precipitous age-related declines in LS7 scores, especially in at-risk groups. Promoting higher education and reducing poverty are also important
Associations among environmental supports, physical activity, and blood pressure in African-American adults in the Path trial
US Trends in Prevalence, Awareness, Treatment, and Control of Hypertension, 1988-2008
CONTEXT: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and treatment and control of hypertension reduces risk. The Healthy People 2010 goal was to achieve blood pressure (BP) control in 50% of the US population. OBJECTIVE: To assess progress in treating and controlling hypertension in the United States from 1988-2008. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1988-1994 and 19…
Differences in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Associated With Body Mass Between Black and White Persons
We analyzed cardiovascular disease mortality risks associated with obesity using participant-level meta-analysis of data from the Black Pooling Project for Black and White individuals. The adjusted relative risks (ARRs) were stronger among White participants than among Black participants for coronary heart disease AAR=1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.07, 1.36) versus 0.87 (95% CI=0.69, 1.09), respectively, and cardiovascular disease ARR=1.18 …
Geographical patterns of end-stage renal disease incidence and risk factors in rural and urban areas of South Carolina
Anger and anxiety in borderline hypertension
Psychologic studies of hypertension have usually focused on the relationship of anger and anxiety to clinic or laboratory blood pressure (BP). Yet, average blood pressure outside of the clinic has proven to be a more important predictor of hypertensive complications. In this study, we have isolated two groups of borderline hypertensives--one group that maintained high blood pressure outside of the clinic and another whose average BP returned to n…
