(American Heart Association) US Hispanics who live in areas heavily populated by Hispanics face more cardiovascular death than those who live in more diverse counties.Compared with counties that had the lowest Hispanic populations, those with the highest had 60 percent more Hispanic mortality from cardiovascular disease (215.3 vs. 134.2 per 100,000).Counties with higher Hispanic populations may face more socioeconomic disadvantages, a lack of access to quality health care, and language barriers.
