Question:

Why are people of a certain race at risk for heart disease?

Raza y riesgo de enfermedad cardiaca

Los niños nacidos de padres de ciertas razas también se encuentran en mayor riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca. Afroamericanos a menudo tienen presión arterial más alta en comparación con otras razas.

Esta presión arterial alta a menudo resulta en enfermedades del corazón. Los afroamericanos también tienen una alta tasa de enfermedad coronaria, accidente cerebrovascular e insuficiencia cardíaca.

La enfermedad cardíaca es más común también entre los mexicano-americanos, indios americanos, algunos estadounidenses de origen asiático y los nativos de Hawaii. Una de las razones de una mayor posibilidad de enfermedades del corazón en estas carreras se debe a un mayor número de personas obesas y la diabetes dentro de ellos.

Se estima que más del 25 por ciento de la población mexicano-norteamericana tiene alguna forma de enfermedad cardíaca. Los nativos americanos al mismo tiempo había una muy baja ocurrencia de la enfermedad cardíaca, pero en este momento, es la principal causa de muerte en este grupo.

Muchas personas se sorprenden al saber que el ser una raza determinada aumenta el riesgo de enfermedad cardiaca. Algunos de los grupos antes mencionados están en mayor riesgo que otras, mientras que algunos no responden a los unos y otros responden bien.
