In this episode of the Better Edge podcast, Nilay S. Shah, MD, MPH, discusses his recent study about the social and psychosocial determinants of racial and ethnic differences in cardiovascular health in the U.S. He outlines several of the proposed interventions that emphasize the need for further studies in underrepresented populations that can then help inform tailored, effective preventive interventions. He identifies key knowledge gaps that need to be addressed, the clinical implications of the findings and what other physicians involved in cardiology should keep in mind when working with populations that experience disparities.
