Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Outcomes of Coronary, Vascular, Structural, and Congenital Heart Disease

Healthcare Delivery

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) is committed to reducing racial, ethnic, and sex-based treatment disparities in interventional cardiology patients.

Accordingly, each of the SCAI clinical interest councils (Congenital Heart Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease, Structural Heart Disease, and Vascular Disease) participated in the development of this whitepaper addressing disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes in underserved populations.
