Neighborhood quality may affect a person s longevity after heart attack

Neighborhood quality may affect a person s longevity after heart attack Black patients from disadvantaged neighborhoods were significantly more likely to die within five years of surviving a heart attack compared with Black heart attack patients from wealthier neighborhoods and white patients of any socioeconomic means who survive a heart attack, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology s 70th Annual Scientific Session. The researchers analyzed data from nearly 32,000 patients with health insurance treated for a heart attack within the Kaiser Permanente Southern California hospital system between 2006-2016. The researchers assigned each patient a neighborhood disadvantage score based on their home address using the Area Deprivation Index, a validated index for assessing neighborhood disadvantage based on 17 variables reflecting education, income, employment and household characteristics.

Poorer Neighborhoods Pose Risks for Black Patients After Acute MI

This was seen across all races,” the study’s lead author, Jesse Goitia, MD (Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, CA), told TCTMD. “What particularly stood out was that African-American patients tended to have worse outcomes, but African-American patients from good neighborhoods did not. It seemed that the neighborhood was the mediating factor.” “It makes sense,” Quinn Capers IV, MD (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas), chair of the ACC’s diversity and inclusion committee, commented to TCTMD. The study adds evidence, he said, to support the idea that the same social determinants of health that increase risks for having an MI things like crowde
