In this episode, I will be bringing awareness towards the African American population on how they are genetically predisposed to cardiovascular disease and underseen in the healthcare field. I will be discussing some of the main risk factors that are more prevalent in African Americans such as hypertension, obesity, low socioeconomic status, and genetics. Research in this population has lacked globally, especially in CVD. As for future research, ways to prevent the onset of risk factors and improve them are provided. The talk about the unfair treatment of African Americans in the healthcare field is still an ongoing problem today which I will bring light too and suggest that future research should be done within the healthcare field on why this population is discriminated against.
