Analyzing How the Risk of CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) Varies in Different Ancestry Groups and Ethnicities

Congenital heart disease is one of the most common birth defects worldwide and a significant contributor to global mortality. This research examines reasons for and how outcomes of CHD vary across different ethnic groups, investigating socioeconomic and genetic factors influencing CHD likelihood. Analysis of data from PubMed, American Heart Association, Cleveland Clinic, and Frontiers reveals that non-white populations experience higher rates of CHD incidence and mortality compared to white populations, linked to socioeconomic disadvantages and genetic factors. Disparities in CHD are influenced by a combination of biological and social factors; understanding these is crucial for improving healthcare access.
