title: Ethnocultural heart: another challenge for an emerging diversity.
abstract: Race, ethnic origin and culture, as well as other aspects of diversity, affect cardiovascular care. This is relevant to Canada with its ever-increasing diversity. The dynamic interplay of genetic, biological and environmental influences leads to differences and variability. Understanding the role of these determinants leads to the challenge of reducing or eliminating differences in cardiovascular care related to diversity.
