| description | African Americans have a higher rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and a lower rate of specialty consultation and treatment than Caucasians. These disparities also exist in the care and treatment of chemotherapy-related cardiovascular complications. African Americans suffer from cardiotoxicity at a higher rate than Caucasians and are underrepresented in clinical trials aimed at preventing cardiovascular injury associated with cancer therapies. To eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in the prevention of cardiotoxicity, an interdisciplinary and innovative approach will be required. Diverse forms of digital transformation leveraging health informatics have the potential to contribute to health equity if they are implemented carefully and thoughtfully in collaboration with minority communities. A learning healthcare system can serve as a model for developing, deploying, and disseminating interventions to minimize health inequities and maximize beneficial impact. |
