#103: Black Hearts Matter

In Episode 103, Quinn & Brian ask: Why do so many more Black people die after heart transplants than everybody else?

Our guests are: Dr. Hasina Maredia and Dr. Errol Bush, who recently published a paper in the American Heart Association’s journal, “Circulation: Heart Failure.” Their paper concludes that “young Black recipients have a high risk of mortality in the first year after heart transplant, which has been masked in decades of research looking at disparities in aggregate.”
