Study: MU professors found racial inequality during heart transplant process

MISSOURI- A recent University of Missouri study found that Black patients were more likely to receive a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) later in their disease progression compared to white patients.  Adrianne Frech, a professor at the School of Health Professions, and coauthors used the data from the United Network for Organ Sharing to analyze cases of 5,550 people between 1999 and 2014 to examine whether there are race differences in this process, which ultimately resulted in worse health outcomes.
