摘要

Purpose of Review

Our review emphasizes recent advancements and persisting gaps in cardiovascular genomics, particularly highlighting how emerging studies involving underrepresented populations have uncovered new genetic variants associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Recent Findings

Initiatives like the H3Africa project, the Million Veterans Program, and the All of Us Research Program are working to address this gap by focusing on underrepresented groups. Additionally, emerging research is centering on the interplay between genetic factors and socio-environmental determinants of health, which disproportionately impact marginalized communities.

Summary

As cardiovascular genomics research grows, increasing the inclusion of underrepresented populations is essential for gaining a more comprehensive understanding of genetic variability. This will lead to more accurate and clinically meaningful strategies for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases across all ancestral backgrounds and diverse populations.
