Abstract

Purpose of review: Our review emphasizes recent advancements and persisting gaps in cardiovascular genomics, particularly highlighting how emerging studies involving underrepresented populations have uncovered new genetic variants associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Recent findings: Initiatives like the H3Africa project, the Million Veterans Program, and the All of Us Research Program are working to address this gap by focusing on underrepresented groups. Additionally, emerging research is centering on the interplay between genetic factors and socio-environmental determinants of health, which disproportionately impact marginalized communities. As cardiovascular genomics research grows, increasing the inclusion of underrepresented populations is essential for gaining a more comprehensive understanding of genetic variability. This will lead to more accurate and clinically meaningful strategies for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases across all ancestral backgrounds and diverse populations.

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to systematically provide expert views on current basic science and clinical advances in the field of atherosclerosis and highlight the most important developments likely to transform the field of cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors who select leading experts from around the world to provide definitive reviews on key topics and papers published in the past year. We also provide supplementary reviews and commentaries from well-known figures in the field. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
