The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure
The purpose of the “Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7)” is to provide an evidence-based approach to the prevention and management of hypertension. The key messages of this report are: in those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure (SBP) of greater than 140 mmHg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP (DBP); beginning at 115/75 mmHg, CVD risk doubles for each increment of 20/10 mmHg; those who are normotensive at 55 years of age will have a 90 percent lifetime risk of developing hypertension; prehypertensive individuals (SBP 120–139 mmHg or DBP 80–...
The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure
Provides guidance for primary clinicians, & serves as a tool to be adapted & implemented in local & individual situations. Using evidence-based med. & consensus, the report updates contemporary approaches to hypertension (HT) control. Covers: lifetime risk of HT; blood pressure (BP) & cardiovascular risk; basis for reclassification of BP; classification of BP; importance of systolic BP; prevention of HT: public health challenges; calibration, maintenance, & use of BP devices; patient evaluation; identifiable causes of HT; genetics of HT; treatment; special situations in HT management; drugs & other agents affecting BP; improving HT control; scheme used for classification of the evidence; & references. Charts & tables.
The Sixth Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure
Provides guidance for primary clinicians, & serves as a tool to be adapted & implemented in local & individual situations. Using evidence-based med. & consensus, the report updates contemporary approaches to hypertension control. Covers: the need for prevention of high blood pressure (HBP) by improving lifestyles, the cost of health care, the use of self-measurement of blood pressure, the role of managed care in the treatment of HBP, the intro. of new combination anti-hypertensive medications & angiotensin II receptor blockers, & strategies for improving adherence to treatment. Charts & tables. Also includes a 28-page report, Implementing Recommendations for Dietary Salt Reduction: Where Are We? Where Are We Going? How Do We Get There? A Summary of an NHLBI Workshop.Ó
National High Blood Pressure Education Program
This report reviews the rationale for primary prevention of hypertension, strategies for prevention of hypertension, and efficacy of interventions to prevent hypertension. Includes policy recommendations.
A Population-Based Policy and Systems Change Approach to Prevent and Control Hypertension
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 rec...
