背景：心血管（CV）疾病仍然是美国妇女死亡的主要原因，影响了美国三分之一以上的妇女。研究表明，女性越来越意识到她们现有的和潜在的心血管疾病负担，以及减少心血管疾病风险的预防措施。然而，在意识和感知风险之间仍然存在二分法。为了改进提高心血管健康和降低风险的策略，我们试图进一步表征女性参加年度心血管健康筛查和教育活动的意识差距。方法：在明尼苏达州罗彻斯特市一年一度的心血管健康筛查活动中，294名妇女接受了为期四年的调查。调查收集了参与者关于心血管疾病知识、心血管危险因素和感知风险的详细信息。生化（血脂、葡萄糖）、形态测量（BMI）和血流动力学（BP）测量也得到了。风险水平是根据最近发布的2011年美国心脏协会…
Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease remains the leading cause of death in American women and affects more than one in three in the United States. Research shows that women are becoming more aware of their existing and potential CV disease burden as well as the preventive actions to reduce CV risk. However, there remains a dichotomy between awareness and perceived risk. We sought to further characterize this awareness gap in women attracted to an annual CV health screening and educational event in order to improve strategies to increase CV health and reduce risk. Methods: During an annual CV health screening event in Rochester, Minnesota, 294 women were surveyed over four years. Surveys collected detailed information from participants regarding knowledge of CV disease, their CV risk factors, and their perceived risk. Biochemical (lipids, glucose), morphometric (BMI) and hemodynamic (BP) measurements were also obtained. Levels of risk were determined from the recently published 2011 American Heart Assoc...
