    Summary

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health concern in Black Americans. Addressing risk factors through nursing interventions is crucial for prevention in all age groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Public Health
    • Nursing Research

    Background:

    • Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of mortality among Black Americans, responsible for 25% of all deaths.
    • Established CAD risk factors, including hypertension, exhibit high prevalence and disproportionately greater incidence in Black populations compared to white populations.
    • Risk factor reduction for CAD in Black Americans presents significant challenges, mirroring those faced by other minority and white populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need for effective primary and secondary prevention strategies for coronary artery disease (CAD) in Black Americans.
    • To identify the challenges faced by nursing in implementing and evaluating CAD prevention programs.
    • To emphasize the importance of age-inclusive interventions, from childhood to elderly care.

    Main Methods:

    • This study is a review and analysis of existing literature on CAD risk factors and prevention in Black Americans.
    • It synthesizes data on prevalence, risk factor distribution, and the effectiveness of current interventions.
    • The focus is on identifying gaps and challenges in nursing practice and research.

    Main Results:

    • CAD remains the leading cause of death in Black Americans, with risk factors like hypertension being more prevalent.
    • Existing prevention strategies face implementation and evaluation challenges within this demographic.
    • A comprehensive, age-spanning approach is needed for effective risk reduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing plays a pivotal role in addressing the disproportionate burden of CAD in Black Americans.
    • Implementing and evaluating tailored primary and secondary prevention strategies across the lifespan is essential.
    • Further research is needed to overcome challenges in CAD risk factor reduction for this population.
