Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Management of Chronic Coronary Disease.

Chronic coronary disease (CCD) comprises a continuum of conditions that include obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease with or without prior acute coronary syndrome. Racial and ethnic representation disparities are pervasive in CCD guideline-informing clinical trials and evidence-based management. These disparities manifest across the entire spectrum of CCD management, spanning from non-pharmacological lifestyle changes to guideline-directed medical therapy, and cardiac rehabilitation to invasive procedures. Recognizing and addressing the historical factors underlying these disparities is crucial for enhancing the quality and equity of CCD management within an increasingly diverse population.
