Disparities in cardiovascular healthcare exist: they are pervasive, entrenched in society, and documented by numerous studies. This course, for physicians and other interested healthcare professionals, offers a review of the research; highlights some specific aspects of the problem including risk factors, diagnostic and treatment practices, and morbidity/mortality rates; and describes some of the national, community, and physician-based actions that can improve cardiovascular healthcare for all Americans.
