Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Disparities in
Cardiovascular Disease Care

The following is a bibliography on research related to racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) care, highlighting specifically atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. The research reveals that disparities exist in prevalence, morbidity, and mortality, and occur at all levels and stages of care provided to CVD patients.

References also include research on the social neuroscience of bias and mind hacks and best practices for understanding and preventing the influence of bias in health care.
