Call to Action for Health Equity: Racial Disparities in the Care of Patients with Cardiometabolic Disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for adults in the US. However, patients from minority populations with cardiovascular disease have disproportionately poor health outcomes and are particularly vulnerable to health disparities. Racial inequities in health also result in higher risk-burden in minority groups for metabolic syndromes such as Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Health disparities in cardiometabolic care predominantly... |

The majority of lung cancer cases are categorized as NSCLC, which has a low overall 5-year survival rate, especially when it is diagnosed at advanced, unresectable stages. Recent advances in the treatment landscape have yielded promising improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival; however, outcomes are dependent on numerous factors, including the evaluation ... |

Irregular Care: Racial Inequities in the Management of Cardiac Rhythm Disorders
Structural racism and classism leads to many of the social determinants of health (SDoH) that cause disparities in cardiovascular (CVD) care, such as unequal preventative care, heart arrythmia treatment, and research inclusion. Interpersonal racism, including unconscious bias, worsens disproportionate CVD care, and is also a stand-alone factor for this health inequity. Underrepresented minority (URM) patients – particularly Black/African American individuals – are less likely to receive, b... |

Overcoming Challenges to Recognizing, Diagnosing, and Managing Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), once considered rare, is more prevalent than previously thought. Diagnosing this condition can be a challenge, as early symptoms may be nonspecific and attributable to aging, whereas later more severe symptoms can be mistaken for other cardiovascular conditions such as heart failure or may be confused with other causes of amyloidosis. This can be particularly problematic, as it can delay appropriate treatment.
