“We must ensure the existing disparities in clinical care are not worsened and there are continued efforts to promote equitable health care access for all.”
“Racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension prevalence are well documented, especially among Black adults who are disproportionately affected and have one of the highest rates of hypertension globally.”
“I would say that disparities exist in all of the major areas of medicine, but the biggest gaps in mortality and morbidity lie in the relationship with cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer worldwide, driven by hypertension and the downstream effects of hypertension.”
