It includes fully updated and revised chapters on genetics and CVD risk, epidemiology of cardiovascular health, cardiovascular imaging, dyslipidemias and other emerging risk factors, obesity and metabolic syndrome, heart failure, and genetic variations in CVD. Unique aspects within African American and Hispanic/Latinx populations are explored with suggested appropriate therapeutic interventions. New chapters focus on ASCVD risk assessment, emerging precision medicine concepts, the impact of diabetes, resilience and CVD survival, and lifestyle and dieting considerations. Written by a team of experts, the book examines the degree to which biomedical and scientific literature can clarify the impact of genetic variation and environment on cardiovascular disease. The Second Edition of Cardiovascular Disease in Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, internal medicine, family medicine, clinical lipidology, and epidemiology Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 8, 2021) Subject Cardiovascular system -- Diseases -- Mortality -- United States Cardiovascular system -- Diseases -- Genetic aspects African Americans -- Health and hygiene -- United States Minorities -- Health and hygiene -- United States Discrimination in medical care -- United States Cardiovascular system -- Diseases.
