(First of a Series)
’’fir ' r \ st« ry
High blood pressure, known medically as hypertension, is one of the unsolved mysteries of science. For black Americans, it is a mvsterv within a mystery. Why? . • Because, in over 90 per cent of all cases, the exact cause of hypertension can't be determil^ ed. Because science has not found a cure--only ways to keep it under control. And because science also doesn't know why this killer disease is particularly vulnerable to black Americans. Consider these facts: ♦Black Americans are twice as likely to have high blood pressure as white Americans ♦When a black American develops hypertension, he will probably do so at anearlier age. It will be more severe and more deadly. ♦In most cases, a black American will die seven years sooner than a white American who develops hypertension at the Same age. The cause of death, in all probability , will be heart attack or one or more of the complications of high blood pressure -- hypertensive heart disease kidney failure or stroke. What causes this abnormally high incidence of hypertension among blacks? Science doesn’t know for sure. B u t there are theories and a leading one is heredity. Suggests t h e American Heart Association: “Take a hard look at your family history. How many people in your family-- parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, uncle and aunts — developed high blood pressure early in life? How many died of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure or hypertensive heart disease -- usual end results of hypertension? If t h e y have, there’s a good chance you have inherited an abnormal tendency for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol or diabetes.” This applies to Americans in general, and to black Americans in particular. For although it has not been proven that heredity plays a major role in causing more high blood pressure ih black Americans than white Americans, it is known that an abnormal tendency toward hypertension can often be inherited. Dr.Frank A. Finnerty Jr., professor of m e d i c i n e at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., believes heredity is a key factor. He contends that black Americans “inherit bad blood vessles” from ancestors not too many generations removed. He also points to the high salt content in the diet of most black Americans and the stresses of ghetto life -- two factors missing from the life style of Africa. “Blacks in the inner cities,” he says “eat a tremendous amount of food high in salt. Blacks In Africa don’t have a high sodium level m their diets, and aren't subject to the same stresses as black Americans. And African blacks have no more hypertension than whites from the same areas.” Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, professor and chairman of the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago contends: “Hypertension is the most important disease of black Americans.” The late Dr. John B. Johnson, who at the time of his death last December was director of cardiovascular diseases at Ho-
ward University in Washington, D.C., agreed. The famed black cardiolggist drew a sharp distinction berween sickle cell a-nemia--an ethnic blood disease which affects blacks almost exclusively -- and hypertension: Only one in every 500 black Americans has sickle cell anemia. One hundred in every 500 black Americans have high blood pressure. He told an American Heart Association panel during t h e organization’s 1972 a n n u a 1 meeting: “Sickle cell disease is realtively unimportant in comparison to hypertension. Vet, it is recognized as a public health problem. Veneral disease is less epidemic among Americans black and white. V.D.,too, is considered a public health problem. Why not hypertension? During his long career, Dr. Johnson wa a major spokesman in his speciality of cardiology and throughout the medical and health professions. And before his death at age 60. Dr. Johnson saw evidence that his yeas of effort to have hypertension declared a public health problem, and to bring about a significant government effort to detect, treat and control this disease among thousands of hidden hypertensives, had borne fruit. Last July, the Department of Health , Education and Welfare launched a program to set standards for treatment, to shape an educational program for both the public and the pro • fessions and to study the “impact of an expanded hypertension program on the health care delivery system, and (to provide) an assessment of the nee d for additional resources.” * At the beginning of 1973, the HEW alunched the initial phase of its program to seek out hidden hypertensives. This action, in a sense stands as a monument to Dr. Johnson, one of the prime movers in the field of heart diseaees. It was Dr. Johnson’s hope, and is today the hope of those who carry on his work at Howard University, that the HEW program will eventually provide new clues to the mystery of hypertension, and the mystery within the mystry of hypertension and black Americans.
