The newest #JACC Progress Report is out, and the message is loud and clear. Cardiovascular (CV) mortality gaps between Black and White Americans remain among the widest health inequities in the U.S. The 2024 update shows: 🔹 Excess deaths and YPLL remain high 🔹 Disparities persist across heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and heart failure 🔹 Only partial recovery from the pandemic’s devastating impact This report isn’t just about numbers. It’s about accountability and whether we’re truly closing the gap in CV health. https://bit.ly/44jMnSO #HealthEquity #Juneteenth #SDOH #CVD
