Oral
New findings in the area of cardiovascular epidemiology will be discussed. Topics include nutritional and socioeconomic risk factors as well as the role of co-morbidities.
Session Objectives: Evaluate the association between suboptimal serum vitamin D and the risk of high pulse pressure Evaluate the impact of atrial fibrillation and clinically important comorbidities on the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization Assess the risk and burden of heart disease and ischemic heart disease mortality associated with smoking among younger adults Describe the associations of socioeconomic status with CVD risk profile and of favorable CVD risk profile with hs-CRP levels. Identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with the probability of transitioning from unaware to aware, from aware to treated, and from treated to controlled among hypertensive in Latin America.
