Key takeaway
Heart disease deaths have gone down for folks with kidney disease, but not for us. Black adults still face the highest risk of dying from heart disease when they also have kidney problems. This means we need better support and care in our communities to close this gap.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cardiovascular helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
