Association between population hypertension control and ischemic heart disease and stroke mortality in 36 countries of the Americas, 1990-2019: an ecological study
CONCLUSION: There is a strong ecological negative association between IHD and stroke mortality and population hypertension control. Countries with the best performance in hypertension control showed better progress in reducing CVD mortality. Prediction models have implications for hypertension management in most populations in the Region of the Americas and other parts of the world.PMID:36133429 | PMC:PMC9484333 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2022.143

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke claims 5.5 million lives globally each year. As the No. 2 killer worldwide, it is estimated that 17.3 million people die from cardiovascular disease including stroke each year, representing 30% of all global deaths. That equates to six people dying from stroke every 60 seconds and unfortunately the burden of stroke is disproportionately affecting low to middle income countries exceeding those of high income countries by 20%.[1] In some Latin American countries, ischemic heart disease and stroke are ranked as the No.

Social Determinants of Emergency Department Visits among Persons Diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke.
Conclusion: Being Black, unmarried, unemployed, and having lower income levels were associated with a higher likelihood of having ≥1 ED visits in the prior 12 months among individuals with a CHD or stroke diagnosis. SDOH should be considered when developing systematic interventions to prevent costly ED visits. PMID: 33519154 [PubMed - in process]
