Although the health and life expectancy has increased for Americans over the last century, a mortality gap between black and white individuals has persisted since the 1960s. The higher rate of mortality in black individuals is driven by an increased risk of hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases in black individuals. In this webinar, Dr Keith Ferdinand will review how to address ethnic disparities in cardiovascular disease.

 

 

Learning objectives:
–    Describe CVD disparities in risk factor prevalence and outcomes in the United States
–    Highlight genomic variation and social determinants in CVD
–    Discuss strategies to eliminate disparities among racial/ethnic minorities
