Studying the genetics of heart attacks and strokes in Hispanic populations

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and Hispanic/Latino (hereafter referred to as Hispanic) populations are more likely than non-Hispanic populations to experience common risk factors for cardiovascular disease like Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
