Real-World Strategies to Address Inequities in Treatment and Outcomes
Despite advances in the treatment and management of cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and atrial fibrillation, significant disparities in both treatment and outcomes for patients from racial/ethnic underserved groups remain. In fact, race-based medicine, including prescribing specific treatments dependent on a patient’s race/ethnicity, is often still employed in clinical encounters in spite of a complete lack of evidence to support these outdated practices. As a result, preexisting racial/ethnic disparities in the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions are only exacerbated by differential treatment, resulting in greater disparities in patient outcomes. It is imperative that each member of the multidisciplinary care team works together to address these disparities in order to improve equity in treatment and outcomes for all patients.

In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize case-based learning to illustrate these pervasive disparities through the stories of two patients, Francisco and Samantha, while offering strategies to address inequities in the treatment and outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation and complex cardiovascular disease.
