Take Action: Optimizing Equity in Cardiology Care

Disparities in the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, disproportionately affect underserved racial and ethnic populations as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. These groups face significant barriers, such as lower rates of hypertension control, increased cardiovascular mortality, and limited access to necessary care. For example, non-Hispanic Black patients experience a 50% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality compared to non-Hispanic White patients, while unhoused individuals are 2-4 times more likely to suffer from hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases at younger ages. Addressing these inequities as an individual and a member or the healthcare team is essential to improving cardiovascular health outcomes. In the first activity of this CME Outfitters BriefCase series, expert faculty will discuss actionable strategies to enhance health equity in the management of cardiovascular disorders. The focus will be on identifying and addressing social drivers of health (SDoH) that contribute to disparities, integrating holistic treatment approaches, and employing team-based strategies to ensure equitable care. Learners will gain tools to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions, particularly in high-risk, underserved populations.
