Pulling at the Heart: COVID-19, Race/Ethnicity and Ongoing Disparities (Nature Reviews Cardiology)
|
|
|
|
Newly appointed deans Michelle Albert, MD, Associate Dean for Admissions and Peter Chin-Hong, MD, Associate Dean for Regional Campuses urge decisive attention to action against ethnicity-based inequities that undermine cardiovascular health in this journal article in Nature Reviews Cardiology. Social determinants of health in the African diaspora drive the lack of disease testing, increased prevalence of comorbid disease and reduced access to drugs, resulting in disproportionately higher COVID-19-related mortality among Black individuals than the rest of the population.
