Treatment
Black populations In MESA, patients of Black
race had highest risk of
incident HF (4.6/1000 person-
years) and highest proportion
of nonischemic incident HF.
Higher prevalence of HF risk
factors including hypertension,
obesity, and diabetes, compared
with White populations.
CDC data show race-based
differences in HF mortality
over time: Black men had a
1.16-fold versus 1.43-fold
higher age-adjusted HF-related
CVD death rate compared
with White men in 1999
versus 2017; Black women had
a 1.35-fold versus 1.54-fold
higher age-adjusted HF-related
CVD death rate compared
with White women in 1999
versus 2017.
Gap in outcomes is more
pronounced among younger
adults (35–64 y of age) versus
older adults (65–84 y of age);
age-adjusted HF-related CVD
death rates were 2.60-fold and
2.97-fold higher in young Black
versus White men and women,
respectively.
Higher rates of hospitalization
(3) and mortality among
patients with HFpEF.
Lower 5-year survival aer
heart transplant.
