Abstract
in English, Chinese, Spanish

The Heart-Healthy Lenoir Project is a multi-study project designed to reduce the risk burden of heart disease in Lenoir County, North Carolina. This case report examines one client's experience in this project and the impact of health coaching interventions that were used. The client presented with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and a systolic blood pressure (BP) of more than 200 mmHg. After 1 year of educational group meetings and personalized health coaching, the client was able to reduce her BP to an acceptable range and has adopted many new lifestyle behaviors. This case report demonstrates one way health coaching is being integrated into educational programs and in collaboration with primary care practices.

Heart-Healthy Lenoir Project es un proyecto multiestudio diseñado para reducir la carga que supone el riesgo de cardiopatías en el condado de Lenoir, Carolina del Norte (EE. UU.). Este caso clínico examina la experiencia de una cliente de este proyecto y el impacto de las intervenciones de formación sanitaria empleadas. La cliente llevaba un estilo de vida insano y presentaba una presión arterial (PA) sistólica de más de 200 mmHg. Después de 1 año de reuniones con el grupo educativo y de formación sanitaria personalizada, la cliente fue capaz de reducir su PA hasta unos límites aceptables y ha adoptado muchas conductas de estilo de vida nuevas. Este caso clínico demuestra que la formación sanitaria unidireccional se está integrando en los programas educativos en colaboración con consultas de atención primaria.
