Black patients and Cardiology
Black cardiologists: heart and vascular care. Black adults are 30 percent more likely to die of cardiovascular disease. Early specialist care closes the gap.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for Black Americans, who die from heart disease at rates 30 percent higher than white Americans (AHA, 2024). Black adults develop high blood pressure earlier and reach severe stages sooner. The average age of first onset for hypertension is 38 in Black adults versus 44 in white adults. Heart failure in Black adults under 50 is 20 times more common than in white adults the same age (Bibbins-Domingo, NEJM).
Racial concordance matters here. A 2020 PNAS study linked Black patients seeing Black cardiologists to better adherence and reduced infant and adult cardiac mortality in the same zip codes.
