Blood Pressure and Glycemic Control Among Ambulatory US Adults With Heart Failure: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multisociety guidelines recommend a goal systolic blood pressure (BP) <130 mm Hg and a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <8% in patients with heart failure (HF), regardless of ejection fraction. Few studies have described BP and glycemic control in ambulatory patients with HF and racial and ethnic disparities in this subset of the population.

Methods

We evaluated prevalence of uncontrolled BP and HbA1c in non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and Mexican American adults aged ≥20 years with self-reported HF (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys: 2001-2018). Prevalence ratios (95% CI) for uncontrolled BP and HbA1c were calculated by race and ethnicity and adjusted for sex, age, treatment, and socioeconomic status. In secondary analyses, we examined trends in the
