title: Coronary artery disease in blacks: past perspectives and current overview.
abstract: It is difficult to draw strong conclusions from the available data. One must simply accept the fact that vital statistics show that cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death among black Americans. Health care providers, policymakers, and funding agencies should use this information to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies to conquer this dreadful disease.
