New Study Reveals Inequities in Access to Mechanical Circulatory Support in US Patients with Cardiogenic Shock
A new study presented during the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference, TCT 2023, revealed inequities in access to mechanical circulatory support in United States’ patients with cardiogenic shock. The findings, simultaneously published in the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (JSCAI), revealed stark disparities, particularly among black patients, that further highlight systemic inequities in access to lifesaving therapies.
