10:30
Sabin Filimon:听听A Meta-analysis of Short-term Mortality Rate Among White and Black Women with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Filimon
Learning Objectives
1. Recognize that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women
2. Recognize that, to date, there is limited data comparing mortality of white and black women post acute coronary syndrome, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions concerning the racial risk of cardiovascular disease
3. Recognize that, compared to white women, black women have higher percentages of hypertension and diabetes, and have acute coronary syndrome at a younger age
4. Recognize that black women might require a tailored approach with tighter control of hypertension and diabetes
