Item Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and COVID-19, when the Sick Get Sicker: Unmasking Racial and Ethnic Inequities During a Pandemic(Elsevier, 2023) Contreras, Johanna; Tinuoye, Elizabeth O.; Folch, Alejandro; Aguilar, Jose; Free, Kendall; Ilonze, Onyedika; Mazimba, Sula; Rao, Roopa; Breathett, Khadijah; Medicine, School of MedicineMinoritized racial and ethnic groups have the highest incidence, prevalence, and hospitalization rate for heart failure. Despite improvement in medical therapies and overall survival, the morbidity and mortality of these groups remain elevated. The reasons for this disparity are multifactorial, including social determinant of health (SDOH) such as access to care, bias and structural racism. These same factors contributed to higher rates of COVID-19 infection among minoritized racial and ethnic groups. In this review, we aim to explore the lessons learned from the COVID 19 pandemic and its interconnection between heart failure and SDOH. The pandemic presents a window of opportunity for achieving greater equity in the health care of all vulnerable populations.Item Lack of Cultural and Language Concordant Nutrition Education for Hispanic/Latinx Individuals with CKD: A Call to Action(Wolters Kluwer, 2022) Perez, Luis M.; Biruete, Annabel; Nutrition and Dietetics, School of Health and Human SciencesItem Let's take 2 steps forward(Wolters Kluwer, 2023) Nephew, Lauren D.; Medicine, School of Medicine
