Diabetes and Associated Cardiovascular Complications in American Indians/Alaskan Natives: A Review of Risks and Prevention Strategies
Summarizes the findings on the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and DM-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications among American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations. Identifies the risk factors, and the genetic factors that influence the pervasiveness of DM and CVD within the AI/ANs. Recognizes existing health disparities among AI/ANs, and discusses the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) with DM Prevention.

Applicability of Precision Medicine Approaches to Managing Hypertension in Rural Populations
Discusses the Heart Healthy Lenoir Project study using a precision medicine approach in a rural population to gain knowledge on blood pressure (BP) control and BP intervention. The focus of the study is on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a common type of genetic variation, to determine if SNPs corresponding with hypertension variation found in previous studies of populations near major medical organizations, are relative to BP control in subjects from a rural population.
