RESUMO

Heart failure (HF) affects >6 million Americans, with variations in incidence, prevalence, and clinical outcomes by race/ethnicity. Black adults have the highest risk for HF, with earlier age of onset and the highest risk of death and hospitalizations. The risk of hospitalizations for Hispanic patients is higher than White patients. Data on HF in Asian individuals are more limited. However, the higher burden of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, particularly among South Asian adults, is associated with increased risk of HF. The role of environmental, socioeconomic, and other social determinants of health, more likely for Black and Hispanic patients, are increasingly recognized as independent risk factors for HF and worse outcomes. Structural racism and implicit bias are drivers of health care disparities in the United States. This paper will review the clinical, physiological, and social determinants of HF risk, unique for race/ethnic minorities, and offer solutions to address systems of inequality that need to be recognized and dismantled/eradicated.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hypertension (HTN) is the most common chronic disease impacting over half the US adult population. Our current office-based model of care is failing in its ability to control blood pressure (BP) as only 44% of adult US hypertensives are achieving minimal levels of BP control (< 140/90 mmHg), leading to high rates of preventable cardiovascular events and death. RECENT FINDINGS: Reengineering care delivery using a fully digital platform combined with a dedicated team-based approach to HTN management has demonstrated superior BP control rates, very high levels patient acceptance, and the ability to better diagnose and treat masked and white coat HTN. SUMMARY: A digital medicine program in the clinical care setting can be an effective and convenient mechanism of delivering HTN management, outperforming traditional office-based care, and is well accepted by patients.

RESUMO

Heart failure remains a significant burden to healthcare systems. Even of the advances in medical therapy, heart failure morbidity and mortality have not been significantly reduced. Diabetes mellitus has shown to be a significant risk factor for the development and prognosis of heart failure. Traditionally, these two chronic illnesses have been managed in relative isolation. Clinicians should be more cognizant of the bidirectional impact between heart failure and diabetes.


La insuficiencia cardíaca sigue siendo una carga significativa para los sistemas de salud. A pesar de los avances en la terapia médica, la morbilidad y mortalidad de esta enfermedad no se han reducido significativamente. La diabetes mellitus ha demostrado ser un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo y el pronóstico de la insuficiencia cardiaca. Tradicionalmente estas dos enfermedades crónicas se han manejado aisladamente a pesar de su elevada coexistencia. Los clínicos deben ser más conscientes del impacto bidireccional entre la insuficiencia cardiaca y la diabetes mellitus.
