Religiously affiliated African American men who reported the lowest and highest experienced discrimination showed a heightened risk for subclinical CVD. Having a religious identity might either play a role in suppressing men's unwanted memories of discrimination or increase men's susceptibility to and salience of mistreatment, which might manifest in adverse cardiovascular health outcomes.
