TL;DR
It is suggested that vascular risk factors, socioeconomic position, and treatment play major roles in the racial disparity in mortality rate after MI.
Abstract
Our findings suggested that vascular risk factors, socioeconomic position, and treatment play major roles in the racial disparity in mortality rate after MI.

Investigating the construct validity and the test-retest reliability of a self-administered questionnaire about habitual physical activity in young males and females in three age groups in a Dutch population found that level of education was inverselyrelated to the work index, and positively related to the leisure-time index in both sexes.

It is suggested that the race and sex of a patient independently influence how physicians manage chest pain.
CirculationSocioeconomic factors and cardiovascular disease: a review of the literature.
1,862 Citations1993George A. Kaplan, Julian Keil
There has been a consistent inverse relation between cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart disease, and many of the indicators of SES, and evidence for this relation has been derived from prevalence, prospective, and retrospective cohort studies.
EpidemiologySocioeconomic Status and Health in Blacks and Whites
617 Citations1997Jay S. Kaufman, Richard Cooper +1 more
It is demonstrated that the effect of residual confounding is to bias interpretation of data toward the conclusion of independent racial/ethnic group effects, and it is proposed that conclusions on the basis of this analytical strategy are generally unwarranted.
New England Journal of MedicineRacial Variation in the Use of Coronary-Revascularization Procedures — Are the Differences Real? Do They Matter?
551 Citations1997Eric D. Peterson, Linda K. Shaw +4 more
Blacks with coronary disease were significantly less likely than whites to undergo coronary revascularization, particularly bypass surgery - a difference that could not be explained by the clinical features of their disease.
Journal of the American College of CardiologyEffects of gender and race on prognosis after myocardial infarction: Adverse prognosis for women, particularly black women
430 Citations1987Geoffrey H. Tofler, Peter H. Stone +10 more
Findings in the MILIS population indicate that the prognosis after myocardial infarction is worse for women, particularly black women.
Journal of Health Politics Policy and LawThe Biological Concept of Race and Its Application to Public Health and Epidemiology
367 Citations1986Richard Cooper, Richard J. David
It is proposed that uncritical use of the traditional biological concept of race has distorted etiological thinking in public health and has proven an obstacle in the development of effective intervention strategies.
JAMARacial Differences in Mortality Among Men Hospitalized in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System
199 Citations2001Ashish Jha
Black patients admitted to VA hospitals with common medical diagnoses have lower mortality rates than white patients, and the absence of a survival disadvantage for blacks may reflect the benefits of equal access to health care and the quality of inpatient treatment at VA medical centers.
Medical CareVariations in the Utilization of Coronary Angiography for Elderly Patients with an Acute Myocardial Infarction
163 Citations1995Constantine Gatsonis, Arnold M. Epstein +3 more
The results show that large variations in the utilization of procedures can exist, despite uniform insurance coverage and a relatively homogeneous patient cohort and the potential of hierarchical regression modeling as a framework for the analysis of variations and some methodologic issues connected with its implementation.

56 Citations2000Jan A. Kors, Richard S. Crow +3 more
This study provides clear evidence that computers assign more and severer Minnesota Codes with similar prognostic importance as does the Visual method; it also alerts researchers to potential problems in pooling Minnesota Code data read by different methods.

Annals of Internal MedicineMyocardial Infarction among Black Patients: Poor Prognosis after Hospital Discharge
39 Citations1988Angel Castañer, Brian E. Simmons +2 more
Mortality rates exceed previous reports of survival after myocardial infarction among white patients in the United States, and confirm that inner-city minority patients served by municipal health care institutions have a particularly poor prognosis for coronary artery disease.
CirculationRace and prognosis after myocardial infarction. Results of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) phase II trial.
33 Citations1993Herman A. Taylor, Bernard Chaitman +8 more
TIMI II data yield evidence that corroborates published reports of a high prevalence of classic cardiovascular risk factors among minority patients with acute myocardial infarction, and there is a greater decrease in fibrinogen levels 5 hours after the start of rt-PA infusion among black patients than in white and Hispanic patients.

Race and sex differences in case fatality after hospitalized MI were not evident in these data, although when out-of-hospital deaths were included, men and blacks were more likely than women and whites to die within 28 days of an acute cardiac event.
