One Third of CVD in US Blacks Linked to Hypertension

One third of cardiovascular disease cases in the US black population are associated with hypertension, new research shows.
“Our data support focused efforts to diagnose and treating hypertension in black individuals, and even more importantly, attempting to prevent the development of hypertension in the first place with lifestyle modifications,” said lead author, Donald Clark III, MD, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson.


The study was published online in JAMA Cardiology on October 23.
