The roundtable discussion, "Managing Cardiovascular Disease in African Americans: Emerging Strategies for Optimizing Care, " was convened to review the evidence that supports best practices for the management of cardiovascular disease and its complications in African Americans. Treatment guidelines are reviewed, as is the clinical evidence supporting the use of diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and beta-blockers. The ultimate goals of this work are to improve the understanding of the links among hypertension, diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease, all of which disproportionately affect African Americans, and to increase physician awareness of the unique impact of these conditions in the often underserved African-American population.
名为“非裔美国人心血管疾病管理：优化治疗的新兴策略”的圆桌会议召开，旨在审视支持非裔美国人心血管疾病及其并发症管理最佳实践的证据。会上回顾了治疗指南，以及支持使用利尿剂、血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂、血管紧张素受体阻滞剂和β受体阻滞剂的临床证据。这项工作的最终目标是增进对高血压、糖尿病、代谢综合征和心血管疾病之间联系的理解，所有这些疾病对非裔美国人的影响尤为严重，并提高医生对这些病症在经常得不到充分服务的非裔美国人群体中独特影响的认识。
