BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: @entity299 is the leading cause of @entity204 for @entity1 living in the United States; this disease claims more female lives than all @entity5 combined. Additionally, according to the Centers of Disease Control data between the years 1979 and 2006, while cardiac-related mortality among @entity1 decreased significantly, only a modest decline was found among @entity1 . This disparity is greatest among minority females including Blacks and Hispanics who have an even greater prevalence of CVD and its risk factors. PREVENTION: There are several risk factors for @entity453 ( @entity453 ). Modifiable risk factors include: @entity286 smoking, @entity101 , @entity6 , @entity407 , @entity28 and physical inactivity. The prevention of @entity453 is grounded in decreasing or removing these modifiable risk factors. DETECTION: Accurately diagnosing @entity453 is dependent on an accurate assessment of the @entity1 's pre-test probability to determine the best diagnostic approach to pursue. The @entity1 's functional status, resting EKG and cardiac risk factors also assist in determining the best non-invasive cardiac test to pursue. Management: The goals and mainstay in the management of minority females with stable @entity453 includes surveillance for @entity453 symptoms, management of @entity101 , @entity6 and @entity407 , as well as encouraging healthy habits. CONCLUSION: @entity299 remains the leading cause of @entity204 in minority females. Providers must be diligent to aggressively decrease @entity1 ' cardiovascular risk and, when @entity1 do present with cardiovascular symptoms, providers must be aggressive in accurately diagnosing and treating these @entity1 to decrease cardiac morbidity and mortality.
