Risk assessment for cardiovascular disease with nontraditional risk factors.
This case study considers a 46-year-old Asian American woman who is concerned about risk of cardiovascular disease because of her new, less active working conditions. She has no personal history of hypertension or hypercholesterolemia, but does have a family history. The case study questions are based on USPSTF recommendations for nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors for CVD in asymptomatic adults.

The role of home BP monitoring: answers to 10 common questions.
This review examines what role home blood-pressure monitoring (HBPM) should take in the management of patients with hypertension. The answers to ten evidence-based questions, with reference to USPSTF recommendations, are used to provide insight. These questions include: Can HPBM be used to confirm a hypertension diagnosis? What are the diagnostic and treatment targets for HBPM? Does HBPM improve control of hypertension? Does HBPM help improve medication adherence? Does HBPM improve BP outcomes?
