Study finds equitable heart failure care, but challenges remain

Black adults with heart failure (HF) are more likely to die than white adults with the same condition. A new study published today in JAMA Cardiology that used the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines—Heart Failure registry data to examine quality and outcomes at hospitals treating high proportions of Black patients with HF found that care is equitable, although areas for improvement remain to examine quality and outcomes at hospitals treating high proportions of Black patients.
