Background There is limited research on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which the most common inherited cardiac disorder, in diverse populations, including Black individuals. Current literature lacks comprehensive data HCM disease expression, comorbidities, and outcomes this historically disadvantaged group. The purpose of study was to examine structural characteristics, a White cohort with HCM. Methods Results subgroup analysis from longitudinal, prospective HCM, supplemental chart...
BACKGROUND: The impact of preventing hypertension and maintaining normal blood pressure (BP) on life expectancy healthy (HLE) among Black adults, who are disproportionately affected by hypertension, has not been quantified. METHODS: We used a discrete event simulation to estimate HLE cohort adults from the Jackson Heart Study (n=4933) age 20 100 years or until death. modeled as having BP <130/80 mm Hg <120/80 across lifespan. In primary analysis, we assumed that lowering decreased risk...
Introduction: Hypertension (HTN) occurs in ~50% of adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common inherited cardiac disorder. Most individuals HCM (~70%) have left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, precluding use first- or second line anti-hypertensive agents. Little is known about prevalence blood pressure (BP) control among and HTN. Objectives: We sought to describe BP HTN a large clinical cohort. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional analysis was extracted from...
Introduction: Women and men may recover from myocardial infarction (MI) differently. Resilience promotes psychological recovery post-MI but its association with health status, including health-related quality of life, angina frequency, physical limitations, has been underexplored. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that higher resilience would be associated better this relationship stronger among women compared to men. Methods: analyzed a cross-sectional sample adult participants in the Heart...
Background: Black adults, particularly men are underrepresented in cardiovascular research studies, limiting interpretation and generalization of findings, adversely impacting health equity. Analyses enrollment strategies often focus on recruitment. Retention to optimize study participation among specifically underexplored. Objectives: To describe retention for male participants a community-engaged hypertension prevention trial. Methods: Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program...
Background: Social support has been associated with morbidity and mortality among adults coronary artery disease, but its relationship to health status recent myocardial infarction (MI) is less well understood. Objective: We examined the association between social (ENRICHD Support Inventory [ESSI]) (Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ-7]) a cohort of post-MI, overall by sex. hypothesized that higher would be better strength differ Methods: This was cross-sectional analysis baseline data from...
Introduction: CKM consists of obesity, metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular (CVD). Hypertension is a key factor for stage 2 it most common among Black adults. A better understanding the role hypertension in progression needed. Aim: To estimate to 4 adults, overall those with hypertension, Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Methods: We included 2,118 adults JHS without clinical CVD at baseline. Participants were categorized into: Stage 1 CKM: overweight/obesity,...
Background Psychological well-being is important among individuals with myocardial infarction (MI) given the clear links between stress, depression, and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Stress depressive disorders are more prevalent in women than men after MI. Resilience may protect against stress a traumatic event. Longitudinal data lacking populations post We examined role of resilience psychological recovery MI, over time. Methods Results analyzed sample from longitudinal observational...
Acute left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning with normal coronary angiography occurs rarely in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHCM); it may be associated severe hemodynamic instability.We searched for acute LV hypokinesia/akinesia databases of two HCM treatment programs. Diagnosis OHCM was made by conventional criteria hypertrophy the absence a clinical cause and mitral-septal contact. Among 1519 patients, we observed 13 (0.9%), dynamic outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction high...
The United States (U.S.) workforce is aging. There a paucity of literature exploring aging nurses’ work ability. This study explored the work-related barriers and facilitators influencing ability in older nurses. We conducted qualitative descriptive nurses working direct patient care (N = 17). Participants completed phone or in-person semi-structured interviews. used content analysis approach to analyzing data. overarching theme was intrinsically motivated. tied desire remain connected with...
Abstract Background Black men in the United States have higher hypertension (HTN) prevalence than other groups, largely due to adverse social determinants of health, including poor healthcare access. The Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program (CLIP) is effective for HTN screening Black-owned barbershops. However, its effect on prevention among untested. Here, we describe rationale and study protocol development testing a barbershop facilitation (BF) strategy, with trained...
