| Article/Chapter Title: | Health care disparities in cardio-oncology |
| Abstract: | Disparities between blacks and whites with respect to comorbidities, health outcomes and access to care have all been well documented. Black populations have higher prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, specifically hypertension and diabetes, and bear a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease [1, 2]. Differences in the incidence of disease and disease outcomes also exist in the arena of oncology where blacks continue to have worse outcomes with the highest death rates and lowest survival from most cancers of any racial or ethnic group [3,4,5]. Given that hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease all increase the risk of cardiac complications from many forms of oncologic care, the question of whether this population also experiences disparate rates of cardiac complications from oncologic care and whether any such differences could contribute to the gap in cancer outcomes requires investigation. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 R.
