Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers

Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Cardiovascular Disease Research
Digital Health

Background:

Limited literature exists on using mobile health (mHealth) for cardiovascular disease research in middle-aged and older African Americans.
New data collection methods like mobile technology offer timely and cost-effective survey opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the penetration of internet and mobile technologies (cellphones, smartphones) in a large African American cardiovascular disease cohort.
To contribute knowledge on the feasibility of mHealth in this demographic.

Main Methods:

A digital connectedness survey was administered to participants of the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), an African American cohort in Mississippi.
The survey was conducted during annual follow-up calls between July 2017 and February 2019.

Main Results:

63.7% of contacted JHS participants completed the survey.
88.2% of respondents used the internet or a cellphone, and 62.1% owned a smartphone.
Internet/cellphone users were younger, more affluent, and more educated than non-users, and less likely to have a cardiovascular disease history.

Conclusions:

mHealth technologies are feasible for collecting survey data in longitudinal studies of African Americans.
Addressing the age and education disparities in digital access is crucial for health tracking and research in African American communities.
