Abstract

Health disparities have a major impact in the quality of life and level of clinical care received in minority populations in the United States. Underrepresented patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may be at risk for worse outcomes. Furthermore, advances in biomedical research have provided extensive knowledge on the genetic role in the pathogenesis of PAH but whether these also impact minorities is incompletely understood. Health disparities in patients with PAH create an enormous barrier in health care delivery. Understanding the contributors to health disparity represent a fundamental step towards personalized medicine and further improvement in PAH care.
社会经济、种族和民族差异对肺动脉高压诊断和治疗的影响
健康差距对美国少数族裔人群的生活质量和临床护理水平产生了重大影响。肺动脉高压(PAH)患者的代表性不足可能会导致更糟糕的结果。此外,生物医学研究的进展为PAH发病机制中的遗传作用提供了广泛的知识,但这些是否也影响少数群体尚不完全清楚。PAH患者的健康差异在提供医疗保健方面造成了巨大障碍。了解造成健康差距的因素是朝着个性化医疗和进一步改善PAH护理迈出的重要一步。
