心脏病仍然是美国的主要死因。总体而言，心脏病占死亡人数的四分之一，冠心病（CHD）每年造成超过370，000人死亡。经常反复表明，与非西班牙裔白色人群相比，美国的一些少数群体具有更高的传统CHD风险因素发生率、不同的血运重建术治疗率以及CHD的过度发病率和死亡率。对这些差异的原因进行了大量调查。这篇综述的目的是强调最近的文献，探讨冠心病在少数民族和未来的研究和护理方向。
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the USA. Overall, heart disease accounts for about 1 in 4 deaths with coronary heart disease (CHD) being responsible for over 370,000 deaths per year. It has frequently and repeatedly been shown that some minority groups in the USA have higher rates of traditional CHD risk factors, different rates of treatment with revascularization procedures, and excess morbidity and mortality from CHD when compared to the non-Hispanic white population. Numerous investigations have been made into the causes of these disparities. This review aims to highlight the recent literature which examines CHD in ethnic minorities and future directions in research and care.
