Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL): Cardiovascular Health Promotion in Low- and Middle Income Countries
Cardiovascular disease is the world ’ s leading cause of death. Resolve to Save Lives is a non-profit global public health organization that works with partners to reduce heart attack and stroke in the low- and middle-income countries that bear the majority of disease burden. Resolve is working to increase the proportion of people whose blood pressure is controlled in low- and middle-income countries from 10% to 50%, reduce global dietary intake of salt by 30%, and make food safer by 100% elimination of artificial trans fat. Started in 2017, Resolve and its partners have enrolled nearly 20 million people in hypertension ...

2023 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: Novel Insights Into Heart-Brain Interactions and Neurobiological Resilience
Ahmed Tawakol, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, will deliver the 2023 Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Therapies. In his talk, Dr. Tawakol will review how neural pathways related to stress and depression result in cardiovascular diseases. Many studies have shown that stress and depression are associated with heightened amygdalar activity relative to regulatory activity in the cortex. Multisystem research has shown that increased stress-neural network activity triggers sympathetic system activity and induces leukopoiesis, resulting in systemic inflammati...

Advancing Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions to Address Chronic Diseases Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Goals and Key Audience: Objectives: 1. Identify gaps and opportunities for research on the cultural adaptation of evidence-based dietary approaches (e.g., DASH and Mediterranean Diet) to address diet-related diseases in racial/ethnic populations; 2. Understand dietary acculturation and its influence on the development and effectiveness of dietary interventions among diverse immigrant populations; 3. Interrogate the influence of dietary acculturation on the gut microbiome, and understand gut microbiome response to traditional and evidence-based diets. Need and Justification: Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, s...

Advancing Cardiovascular Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions: Research Gaps and Opportunities (Day 2)
Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and Mediterranean diet, is associated with a multitude of health benefits, including lowered blood pressure, improved lipid profiles, reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence, and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.1-5 Also, adherence to healthy dietary patterns is associated with decrease risk for several cancers and cancer mortality. 6, 7 Yet, the strength of these associations varies by race and ethnicity, though results have been inconsistent; and there are racial and ethnic differences in adherence to t...

Sleep health and dysfunction across the spectrum of pulmonary vascular disease (Day 2)
Discuss the state of knowledge of sleep health and dysfunction in all five established pulmonary hypertension (PH) groups. Identify gaps in knowledge and critical unmet needs in the role of sleep disordered breathing (SDB), nocturnal hypoxemia and other sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia, abnormal sleep duration, sleep fragmentation, etc.) in the spectrum of pulmonary vascular disease, including mild pulmonary hypertension. Discuss novel interventions, trial designs and endpoints to test the potential role of sleep interventions in therapy of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD).Air date: 8/31/2023 10:00:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Transforming Hypertension Diagnosis and Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
High blood pressure, known as hypertension, is still a significant health problem worldwide. To better diagnose and manage the disease, healthcare providers need more reliable and exact measurements. Machine learning or artificial intelligence tools could offer better ways to improve current approaches for the detection, monitoring, and management of hypertension.
Join the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for a virtual workshop that brings together health care providers and researchers with expertise in hypertension along with data scientists, engineers, and implementation scientists. Participants will explore d...
