New research finds a strong association between a rare genetic mutation and early-onset heart failure and hospitalization among Black Americans. Patients of African descent carrying this genetic mutation developed heart failure four years earlier than those not carrying it.

Researchers have linked a rare genetic mutation found mostly in Black Americans and other people of African descent to an earlier onset of heart failure and a higher risk of hospitalization.
