As of 2020, Hispanics constitute approximately 19% of the 62 million individuals living in the United States. In this lecture, we delve into the critical topic of thrombosis and antithrombotic care specifically tailored for the nation’s second-largest racial or ethnic group. Hispanics exhibit diverse and heightened rates of cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, psychological stress, and occupational exposures. These factors underscore the importance of understanding and addressing the unique healthcare needs within the Hispanic community.
Throughout the presentation, we will explore the prevalence of thrombosis, identify key risk factors, and examine the various obstacles to care that may disproportionately affect Hispanics. By shedding light on these issues, we aim to advocate for tailored interventions and improved access to equitable and effective healthcare resources for this vital segment of our population.
