Unique Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Hispanic Individuals.
Sofia GomezVanessa BlumerFatima RodriguezPublished in: Current cardiovascular risk reports (2022)
In brief, these data highlight the significant, unique burden of CVD risk among Hispanic individuals in the USA and predict a rising burden of disease among this growing and aging population. Future CVD research should focus on including robust, diverse Hispanic cohorts as well as specifically delineating results for disaggregated Hispanic groups across CVDs. This will allow for better risk assessment, prevention, and treatment decisions to promote health equity for Hispanic patients.
