Health Care Disparities and the Emergency Management of Postpartum Patients with Cardiovascular Complaints
Conclusion This study illustrates that disparities did not exist in the management of racial and ethnic minority groups who presented to the ED with cardiovascular complaints during the first postpartum year. Patient–provider discordance in race or gender was not a significant source of bias or discrimination during the evaluation and treatment of these patients.
