This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, affecting nearly one in three Americans. It is prevalent in adults and endemic in the older adult population. Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and disability. Although there is a simple test to diagnose hypertension and relatively inexpensive drugs to treat it, the disease is often undiagnosed and uncontrolled. A Population-Based Policy and Systems Change Approach to the Prevention and Control Hypertension identifies a small set of high-priority areas in which public health officials can focus their efforts to accelerate progress in hypertension reduction and control. It offers several recommendations that embody a population-based approach grounded in the principles of measurement, system change, and accountability. The recommendations are designed to shift current hypertension reduction strategies from an individual-based approach to a population-based approach. They are also designed to improve the quality of care provided to individuals with hypertension and to strengthen the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's leadership in seeking a reduction in the sodium intake in the American diet to meet dietary guidelines. The book is an important resource for federal public health officials and organizations, especially the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as medical professionals and community health workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state-of-the-art review of research findings that contribute to an understanding of hypertension and the best measures for its prevention and control, whether in individual patients or entire populations. Noting that elevated blood pressure is a massive health problem in almost every country, the report argues that programs for hypertension control should be an integral part of all national health care systems. With this goal in mind, the report aims to help policy makers appreciate the significance and complexities of hypertension, understand the options available for control and then select the most appropriate mix of interventions. Details range from recommended procedures for obtaining an accurate assessment of blood pressure through advice on the best drugs for first-line treatment of hypertensive patients to a discussion of ways to educate populations about relevant lifestyle changes Throughout the report, population-based and individual approaches are presented as complementary, synergistic strategies for hypertension control. To assist physicians as well as policy makers, the report includes abundant recommendations based on the best scientific evidence for the management of different patient groups. A section on the clinical assessment of the hypertensive patient explains the components of a coherent step-wise diagnostic process involving history taking physical examination and laboratory investigation. Included are an assessment of the most suitable drugs for first-line treatment and guidelines for developing management plans for mild hypertension, moderate and severe hypertension, resistant hypertension and hypertensive emergencies. In view of the need to assure that scarce resources are invested wisely, the report also discusses and compares the cost-effectiveness of different management strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor in the community and health care setting for adults. Its control remains a challenge all over the world. Controlling blood pressure can minimize the rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, therefore, patients' compliance with anti-hypertensive drugs and changes in lifestyle plays a significant function in controlling hypertension. Although one in every three Americans over 18 years of age suffers from hypertension, the prevalence is even higher in aged persons including women and non-Hispanic black (AL- Mehza and others, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to describe hypertension, its impact on the work environment, gravity of hypertension, and proposed solution to control it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted. This volume presents the available evidence on home blood pressure monitoring, discusses its strengths and limitations, and presents strategies for its optimal implementation in clinical practice. Written by distinguished international experts, it offers a complete source of information and guide for practitioners and researchers dealing with the management of hypertension.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Trends in Health Behaviors of a Population are essential to monitor as they are important in predicting the disease burden in the population. Hypertension is a chronic disease which after its diagnosis has to be controlled with medication (anti-hypertensive) and more importantly practice of healthy behaviors such as smoking cessation, reduction of alcohol intake, increase of moderate physical activity. The prevalence of these behaviors in those who are diagnosed with Hypertension in both sexes and across all the age groups is measured in the study. Methods: The data analyzed was the BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) 2007 dataset which is a cross sectional study which makes use of a random telephonic Surveillance System) selected after random selection of the households. Since the outcome variable was dichotomous (hypertension -present or not present), logistic regression was the Method of choice. The exposures of interest are physical activity, age, smoking, alcohol and the association of them with diagnosis of hypertension .The risky behaviors which could be modified were to measured and that is why other medically relevant risk factors such as Diabetes and family history were not included .The definition of hypertension used in the analysis was a positive answer to the question "have you been ever told by a physician that you have high blood pressure?" Results: Out of the 158798 participants analyzed, 27.5% were diagnosed with hypertension. The Prevalence rates of hypertension increased with age in the sample population. The rates varied across the age strata and were highest in the age group 65 years or older and were lowest in 18-24 years. Hypertension was 1.14 times lower in male smokers than in non smokers. (O.R =O.873 .95% C.I. = 0.841, 0.905) .It was 1.13 times lower in alcohol consumers than in thosewho do not consume alcohol. (O.R =O.884 95% C.I. =0.855, 0.914) Prevalence of Hypertension was times 1.47 higher in those with regular moderate Physical activity. (O.R =0.680 95% C.I. =0.497, 0.931). The prevalence of Hypertension was 1.07 times lower in current female smokers than in non current female smokers. (O.R =O.911 .95% C.I. = 0.890, 0.933) and was 1.5 times lower in alcohol consumers than in those who do not consume alcohol. (p=
