Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Events and Deaths Among Black Adults Via Systolic Blood Pressure Equity
The findings of this modeling study suggest that achieving SBP equity between non-Hispanic Black and White adults could substantially reduce the number of CVD events and deaths experienced by non-Hispanic Black US adults. Initiatives to maintain normal BP and achieve BP control for individuals with hypertension could have a substantial impact on health equity in the US.
