Heart Failure Hospitalization by Race/Ethnicity, Gender and Age in California: Implications for Prevention.

These findings reinforce the need to determine whether increased access to providers, or implementing proven hypertension and diabetes preventive programs among minorities might reduce subsequent hospitalization for HF in these populations.
