A pproximately 79 400 000 American adults, or 1 in 3, have cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD accounts for 36.3% of every 2.8 deaths the United States and is leading cause death among both men women States, killing an average 37 seconds. Older some ethnic minority populations, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals increased prevalence vascular/metabolic risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes; are more likely to Ն2 factors; at being sedentary, overweight obese, having...
Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) overcomes many of the limitations traditional office (BP) measurement and is both cheaper easier to perform than ambulatory BP monitoring. Monitors that use oscillometric method are currently available accurate, reliable, easy use, relatively inexpensive. An increasing number patients using them regularly check their at home, but although this has been endorsed by national international guidelines, detailed recommendations for have lacking. There a...
Prevention of Hypertension and Its ConsequencesResearch should include both fundamental clinical investigation defining pathogenesis increased vascular LV stiffness; RCTs to define appropriate treatment thresholds goals; comparative effectiveness trials testing various strategies (ie, different regimens intensities lifestyle modification); assessing the relative safety efficacy these approaches in prevention mortality morbidity.

The diagnosis and management of hypertension, a common cardiovascular risk factor among the general population, have been based primarily on measurement blood pressure (BP) in office. BP may differ considerably when measured office outside setting, higher out-of-office is associated with increased independent BP. Self-measured monitoring, by an individual at home, validated approach for measurement. Several national international hypertension guidelines endorse self-measured monitoring....
The authors examined spouses' provision of health-related support and control as predictors health behavior mental among patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation (N = 94 couples). Cross-sectional analyses revealed that was positively associated with patient behavior. Prospective change over 6 months 65 couples) predicted increased health, whereas decreased health. Findings suggest efforts to facilitate patients' healthy lifestyle behaviors are but not always spouses might intend.
Background: Hypertension (HTN) is an important problem in the United States, with estimated 78 million Americans aged 20 years and older suffering from this condition. Health disparities related to HTN are common African greater prevalence of condition than whites, as well severity, earlier onset, more complications. Medication adherence component management, but often poor, simply forgetting take medications cited a reason. Mobile health (mHealth) strategies have potential be low-cost...

Background: Nearly one in three adults the United States has hypertension. Hypertension is of largest risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and it growing prevalence, especially among African Americans. Objectives: To test hypothesis that individuals who participate usual care (UC) plus blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring (TM) will have a greater reduction BP from baseline to 12-month follow-up than would receive UC only. Methods: A two-group, experimental, longitudinal design with block...
• Background Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Without an understanding these risk factors, women are poorly prepared to carry out preventive self-care actions reduce their risk. Objectives To describe perceptions cardiovascular risk-reducing behaviors among with newly diagnosed coronary disease. Methods A descriptive study was done a large midwestern suburban hospital....

African‐American women have disturbingly high rates of hypertension, exceeding those men and other ethnic groups. Reasons for these disparities are not understood. Depression, more common in than men, has been linked to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, metabolic hematologic abnormalities, increased sympathetic nervous system activity—all factors associated with cardiovascular disease. A descriptive correlational design was used test the following hypotheses: 1) higher levels depression...
The authors examined married partners' similarity in reported exercise behavior as a moderator of the association between social support for provided and received by extending an actor-partner dyadic effects model. Participants were cardiac rehabilitation patients their spouses (N=99 couples). For couples similar behavior, significant was found both independent reports providing to receiving from one another (n=49 However, differing (n=50 couples), no either partner's provision receipt...
