Most of the death tolls in the US are caused by heart diseases. American Heart Association’s recent study has revealed that 789,000 Americans suffered from a heart attack in 2009, of which, 470,000 had the potential of reoccurring attack. Racial and ethnic populations are prone to increased rates of cardiovascular disease than other people. Since 1984, around 35% of African-American women have died due to heart disease. Likewise are the African-American men against the non-Hispanic White males. Mexican Americans who are minorities suffer from overweight and obesity more than their Caucasian counterparts, which poses them at risk of heart failure. Despite insurance status, income, and other health care benefits, racial and ethnic disparities in health still exist. The study evidenced that where there was unequal treatment, there were disparities in health among the racial and ethnic groups. In a clinical study of the minority populations’ relation to heart failures, cardiovascular and coronary artery diseases, it was found that the African American populations yield to heart failures and other diseases more than their counterparts. The African Americans have thrice the likelihood of dying at any given age when they are compared to the White population (Mensah & Brown, 2007).
