New US Population Study Projects Steep Rise in Cardiovascular Diseases by 2060

Study projects substantial changes in the prevalence of CV risk factors and disease in the U.S. population by 2060, with an increasing prevalence among Black and Hispanic populations who have historically experienced poor access to quality health care. Targeted efforts toward improved screening and equitable access to quality health care in populations with the greatest growth in CV risk factors or disease would be expected to have a substantial impact to reduce future CV risk for the population overall.
