Cardiovascular disease
is a worldwide phenomenon. While it is found in men and women almost equally,
it is found in almost disproportionately high rates in African-Americans.
African-Americans compromise a smaller portion of the population yet, they have
higher risk of suffering from heart disease than most minority groups. The
increased probability of suffering for heart disease is based on commonly known
factors such as stress, lifestyle choice, and biochemistry levels. But the
possibility of developing cardiovascular disease also relies on less thought of
factors such as direct environment, socioeconomic status, and even perceived
racism. This review sought to understand why African- Americans have such a
high prevalence of heart disease, and even heart attack and death. We hope that
in the future researchers can find more effective ways to minimize both
traditional and non-traditional risk factors, which cause elevated frequency of
heart disease in African-Americans. By minimizing the risk factors,
improvements can be made to overall health and hopefully decreased incidence of
heart disease.
