African Americans are less likely to receive care by a cardiologist during an intensive care unit admission for heart failure
Objectives: This study sought to determine whether the likelihood of receiving primary
intensive care unit (ICU) care by a cardiologist versus a noncardiologist was greater for
Caucasians than for African Americans admitted to an ICU for heart failure (HF). The authors
further evaluated whether primary ICU care by a cardiologist is associated with higher in-
hospital survival, irrespective of race. Background: Increasing data demonstrate an
association between better HF outcomes and care by a cardiologist. It is unclear if previously …
