Should Americans accept this? Black patients are less likely than whites to receive #heartfailure medications, appropriate device therapies, and to be seen by a #cardiologist. Per @BryanSmithMD at @ABCardio1 Booker Symposium. #AHA24

Inspiring @UChicagoMed Cardiology Grand Rounds by @amorrismd. AHF community needs to fight bias and shake off old perceptions of necessary social support for our #hearttransplant & #LVAD pts. Focus on the factors that the data tells us improves outcomes!

3% of cardiologists are black. 60% of Black ppl have heart disease. Historical experimentation on Black ppl, fuels mistrust in medicine. But trust improves when docs are also black. @American_Heart President says diversifying cardiology will save lives I see you @BryanSmithMD

HEART MATTERS: Even though 80% of heart disease is preventable, it remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and Black Americans are twice as likely to die from the disease than White Americans. However, fewer than 3% of cardiologists are Black.

Great presentation by Dr. Alex Plana analyzing the effect of race on post-HT survival by age w/ @BryanSmithMD Black patients had increased post-HT mortality compared to non-Black age-matched counterparts - most prominent in the youngest age cohort & mitigated with increased age
