Subclinical Measures of Cardiovascular Health Among Wildland Firefighters Hasan, Md Zahid MS; Semmens, Erin O. PhD; Navarro DuBose, Kathleen PhD; McCray, L. Kaili PhD; Noonan, Curtis W. PhD Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 66(3):p e116-e121, March 2024. | DOI: 10.1097/JOM.0000000000003041 Routine medical screening of wildland firefighters (WFFs) is important as it can be useful for identifying baseline health risks. This study describes higher burden of hypertension and prehypertension among WFFs relative to a general population comparison group. These findings provide targets for cardiovascular disease prevention programs in this arduous duty worker population. LEARNING OUTCOMES After reading this article, the audience will be able Describe a way to compare cardiovascular health among WFFs and a sample from the US general population. Evaluate the prevalence of hypertension among WFFs compared with the US general population. Understand that subclinical measures can be used to better describe acute and long-term cardiovascular disease risk among this worker population. https://lnkd.in/eDKdFuN4 #JOEM #firefighters

The Asia-Pacific Cardiovascular Disease Alliance, for which ACCESS Health International is the Secretariat, had the opportunity to present their report findings at the recent Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Congress and Emirates Cardiac Society Congress in Dubai. The Alliance aims to advocate for a cohesive multi-sectoral strategy to address gaps in national policies as the cardiovascular (CVD) burden in the region grows rapidly. Titled, “A Call for Cohesive Action: Redefining Cardiovascular Care in the Asia-Pacific” the report aims to answer pressing questions like: How can we address the burden of CVD to reduce premature deaths, and hospitalizations while slowing the growth of new patients? What are the priorities that governments should focus on to achieve these outcomes while ensuring that patients are at the center of care? How can we achieve seamless care for patients? Several topics in the Alliance report were spotlighted in discussions during the conference including – CVD risks in women; the rise in cardiometabolic diseases; primary and secondary prevention; and the digital health tools for telecardiology.
