“…Interestingly, a recent study among a cohort of postmenopausal women has shown that these risk factors confer a higher attributable risk to Hispanic individuals compared to NHW individuals (65.6% in Hispanic individuals versus 50.3% in NHW individuals) [ 66 ]. The higher attributable risk in Hispanic adults was corroborated in a subsequent study from 2018 on AF and HF in a diverse cohort [ 64 ]. In brief, while some risk assessment tools for AF have been validated in Hispanic patients, differential risk in this population has also been observed which is important to consider when making clinical decisions for Hispanic patients at risk for AF.…”

“…Hispanic adults are at lower risk of both AF and supraventricular tachycardia than NHW adults (Fig. 1 ) [ 62 – 64 ]. Risk assessment algorithms such as those from the Framingham Heart Study and CHARGE-AF consortium have been validated in Hispanic patients, providing an accurate tool for AF risk stratification among Hispanic adults [ 58 ].…”

Purpose of Review This review summarizes contemporary data on unique cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Hispanic individuals in the USA, and how addressing these factors is important in addressing health equity. Recent Findings Recent studies have shown high rates of traditional CVD risk factors in Hispanic individuals such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and emerging CVD risk factors like hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, psychological stress, and occupational exposures. However, most studies fail to consider the significant heterogeneity in risk factor burden and outcomes in atherosclerotic CVD by Hispanic subgroup. Heart failure and rhythm disorders are less well studied in Hispanic adults, making risk assessment for these conditions difficult. High levels of CVD risk factors in Hispanic youth given an aging Hispanic population overall highlight the importance of risk mitigation among these individuals. Summary In brief, these data highlight the significant, unique burden of CVD risk among Hispanic individuals in the USA and predict a rising burden of disease among this growing and aging population. Future CVD research should focus on including robust, diverse Hispanic cohorts as well as specifically delineating results for disaggregated Hispanic groups across CVDs. This will allow for better risk assessment, prevention, and treatment decisions to promote health equity for Hispanic patients.
