Dr. David Williams speaking at #AHA20
💸Pay gap for Black Americans is 59 cents vs $1 for White Americans
🛑Same as 1978!
Racial differences haven't changed in all this time
At every level of education, gap persists: income and education matter but race overrides this ImageImageImageImage
Racial Segregation is real #AHA20 and was part of racial regulation
💔2/3 of all Black Americans live in very low opportunity neighborhoods
💔This access to opportunity (or lack thereof) is a driver of racial ethnic differences ImageImageImageImage
The consequences of lack of opportunities increases all level of stressors and the consequences are real:
▶️Accelerated aging
▶️Premature aging
▶️Earlier onset of chronic diseases

@AnastasiaSMihai @loriannpeterso1 & I will be presenting Poster #1432 at #AHA20. It will be presented at 9am CT (soon) but before it is, I want to thank you all for filling out my survey on #cardioTwitter because this is what our poster is based on.
We wanted to find our how you measure #bloodpressure & how reliable you felt your clinical BPs were. I regret to inform you despite you liking your BP reads & trusting them, most of you don't check it correctly @HeartBobH #AHA20 Thanks to @Heart_SCCT @ASPCardio @HBPRCA for help
When you measure #BP this is how we need to do in clinic @HeartNews but most people don't #AHA20

So Who is at risk? And why?

@MaasAngela #ESCCongress
🔺⤴️insulin resistance
🔺⤴️inflammation
🔺⤴️ adverse cardiometabolic risk profile
All seen in menopause, increasing the risk of CVD in 💃
#ESCCongress @MaasAngela
✅we know a lot about obstructive CAD
❎WE do not know enough about Coronary Vasomotor disorders or Microvascular disorders (INOCA/MINOCA)- these affect 💃
Our knowledge about assessment & treatment of non obstructive CAD remains limited
