When it comes to matters of the heart, our communities experience it all. Find resources and connect with community members today.
Black and brown communities face unique challenges when it comes to heart health. Our heart health circle provides a place to connect, share experiences, and find the support you need to advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
Dr. Nesbitt shares tips for managing hypertension (high blood pressure), a common heart condition that’s impacting our communities.
When it comes to our health, these four affect our community the most:
High cholesterol is a condition you can take control of. Understanding your risk, adopting healthy habits, and seeking proper care are essential, particularly for our communities, where heart health is a major concern.
Also known as high blood pressure (HBP), more than 50% of Black Americans have hypertension. Often called the “silent killer” when uncontrolled, HBP can lead to other chronic conditions like heart disease and chronic kidney disease.
Arrythmia simply means “irregular heartbeat.” When your heart is beating too fast, or too slow, it can increase your chances of stroke or heart failure.
Stroke, a condition that disrupts blood flow to the brain, is a serious concern. It’s vital for underrepresented communities to be aware of stroke risks, learn prevention strategies, and understand how to access timely care.
When we are not included in clinical research, we can’t be sure if a treatment will work just as well or be just as safe for us as it will for other races.
By participating in clinical research, we can give ourselves a chance to have treatments that may work better and be safer for us.
Learning more about clinical research can be a critical step in improving health outcomes for future generations.
If you still have questions, you are not alone.
