Latar Belakang: Data dari World Health Organization (WHO) sejak tahun 2014 penyakit hipertensi telah menyerang 22% penduduk dunia [1]. Diprediksikan pada tahun 2025 sekitar 29% orang dewasa di seluruh dunia menderita hipertensi. Menurut American Heart Association (AHA), terdapat 76,4 juta orang usia dewasa di Amerika menderita hipertensi [2]. Sedangkan di Asia Tenggara, angka kejadian hipertensi mencapai 36% [3]. Tujuan: mengidentifikasi efektifitas smartphone terhadap kontrol tekanan darah dan kepatuhan pasien hipertensi. Metode: literatur review dengan menggunakan data base online meliputi PROQUEST, EBSCO dan Science Direct. Boolean “AND” dengan kata kuncinya smart phone, hypertension, adherence, dan self care. Hasil: Program smartphone dikembangkan dalam berbagai fitur diantaranya adalah SMS sebagai reminder dan juga sebagai media untuk melakukan edukasi kepada pasien hipertensi terkait penyakit, komplikasi, penatalaksanaan hingga pencegahannya. Penggunaan smartphone dapat meningkatkan kontrol tekanan darah, menurunkan tekanan darah (sistolikd an diastolik), serta dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan pasien dalam menjalankan terapi. Kesimpulan: Penggunaan smartphone sebagai intervensi dapat digunakan sebagai intervensi terkini dalam melakukan manajemen penyakit jangka panjang termasuk hipertensi, sehingga dapat menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian akibat komplikasi hipertensi yang tidak diharapkan.

Trata-se de revisão da literatura à respeito da medida indireta da pressão arterial (P A) em gestante normotensa. Aborda as modificações ocorridas na pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica decorrentes da gravidez. São discutidos aspectos polêmicos no procedimento de medida da P A, como por exemplo qual a fase dos sons de Korotkoff (fase quatro ou cinco) que representa melhor a pressão diastólica e o uso da Monitorização Ambulatorial da Pressão Arterial. Enfatiza as recomendações de diferentes sociedades (American Heart Association, British Hypertension Society, Australasian Society, National High Blood Pressure Education Program e World Health Organization).

Con este trabajo queremos poner de manifiesto otro tipo de entrenamiento distinto a las recomendaciones tradicionales que desde las organizaciones más influyentes (ACSM-American Collegue Sport Medicine, WHO-World Health Organization y AHA-American Heart Association) hacen para que el entrenamiento sea más efectivo a la luz de los últimos estudios sobre Actividad Física (AF) y salud.El entrenamiento concurrente (fuerza-resistencia) unido con un trabajo de intensidad polarizada (alta y baja) produce mejores resultados para la lucha de la obesidad que el trabajo aislado de ambas y de intensidades submáximas como se venía trabajando en los protocolos más clásicos.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects ≈40 million people and claims nearly 300 000 lives each year. The historic passing of a World Health Assembly resolution on RHD in 2018 now mandates a coordinated global response. The American Heart Association is committed to serving as a global champion and leader in RHD care and prevention. Here, we pledge support in 5 key areas: (1) professional healthcare worker education and training, (2) technical support for the implementation of evidence-based strategies for rheumatic fever/RHD prevention, (3) access to essential medications and technologies, (4) research, and (5) advocacy to increase global awareness, resources, and capacity for RHD control. In bolstering the efforts of the American Heart Association to combat RHD, we hope to inspire others to collaborate, communicate, and contribute.

President Harry Truman signed the National Heart Act in 1948, which resulted in the creation of the National Heart Institute and started federal funds flowing to academic centers to support cardiovascular research. Mayo cardiologist Arlie Barnes’s term as president of the American Heart Association coincided with its transformation from a low-budget professional society into a large voluntary health organization that raised funds from the public to support its programs. World War II research into shock contributed to the development of cardiac catheterization as a clinical diagnostic tool. Mayo’s wartime research program that focused on ways to protect fighter pilots from blackouts due to high gravitational forces led to the invention of technologies to measure blood pressure and blood oxygen content. Physiologist Earl Wood used these tools in Mayo’s cardiac catheterization laboratory, which was established at the institution in 1947. The clinic helped pioneer the emerging field of cardiac catheterization.

Abstract. The impact of sodium intake on cardiovascular health has long been a subject of controversial debates. On the one hand, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have argued for a target of 1500-2000 mg of sodium per day (4-5 g sodium chloride daily). On the other hand, this recommendation has been accompanied by a growing body of criticism. Recently, the results of the PURE and the NutriCode study have flared up the “salt controversy”. Actually, the results of the PURE study seem to strengthen the position of those who have called into question the AHA and WHO guidelines for daily sodium intake whereas those who recommend a considerable salt reduction believe that the NutriCode study confirm their conviction. In this paper, the results of the PURE and NutriCode study will be discussed and evaluated with regard to practical consequences.
