Description:

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study examining how both social determinants of health and polygenic risk scores independently contribute to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The research highlights how factors like income, education, and food insecurity are linked to higher CHD risk, particularly among Black and Hispanic populations, while emphasizing the need to integrate both genetic and environmental factors for more accurate disease prevention models.
