Screening for Hypertension in Adults of a Northern Delta Province in Vietnam.

Background: The proportion of people with hypertension is increasing, and those affected are relatively younger. Worldwide, it is estimated that people with high blood pressure are more than 1.5 billion people.

Adherence to dual antiplatelet therapy after coronary stenting: A study conducted at two Vietnamese hospitals.

Adherence to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is critical after drug-eluting stent(DES) placement. We aimed to assess patient's knowledge, rates of DAPT adherence, trends in DAPT use over time, and patient-level factors associated with nonadherence in the patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). ACS patients who received one or more DES between May and September 2018from two hospitals in Vietnam and used DAPT after stent placement were eligible for a direct interview to assess patient's knowledge on disease and DAPT.
