Closing The Cardiovascular Representation Gap: Site Strategy For Cardiometabolic Trials

Black and Hispanic patients carry a disproportionate share of cardiovascular disease and remain underrepresented in the trials that guide their care. This session, timed to cardiology's flagship annual meeting, shows how primary care referral, community presence, and retention planning close the gap between enrollment and prevalence.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Measure enrollment against disease prevalence, not census share.
- Use primary care referral to reach cardiometabolic patients early.
- Design visit schedules that retain cardiorenal participants.
