Research on sex and gender aspects of cardiovascular disease has helped reduce cardiovascular mortality in women, but gender and racial biases, lack of representation in clinical trials, and undertreatment continue to contribute to disparities in outcomes among women of color. Understanding and addressing these disparities is crucial to improving cardiovascular care for racial and ethnic minority women.
Purpose of Review Research on sex and gender aspects cardiovascular disease has contributed to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality in women. However, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death of women in the United States. Disparities in cardiovascular risk and outcomes among women overall persist and are amplified for women of certain ethnic and racial subgroups. We review the evidence of racial and ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk and care among women and describe a path forward to achieve equitable cardiovascular care for women of racial and ethnic minority groups. Recent Findings There is a disproportionate effect on cardiovascular outcomes in women and certain racial and ethnic groups in part due to disparities in triage, diagnosis, treatment, which lead to amplification of inequalities in women of minority racial and ethnic background. Data suggest gender and racial bias, underappreciation of nontraditional risk factors, underrepresentation of women in clinical trials and undertreatment of disease contributes to persistent differences in cardiovascular disease outcomes in women of color. Understanding the myriad of factors that contribute to increased cardiovascular risk, and disparities in treatment and outcomes among women from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds is imperative to improving cardiovascular care for this patient population.
