Introduction and Overview
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death across various demographics in the United States, with distinctly higher mortality rates observed within Black communities. Research and discussions within healthcare circles suggest that one pathway to addressing this disparity is through diversifying the field of cardiology itself, positing that Black cardiologists may bring unique insights and improvements in patient care for Black populations. This concept highlights a significant intersection of healthcare, racial disparity, and the potential impact of enhanced diversity within specialized medical fields.
