  • Geographic Disparities in Access to Cardiologists in the United States
    Jan 7 2025
    Nearly one-half of US counties have no practicing cardiologists. These counties with limited access to cardiovascular care tend to be more rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged, with a greater burden of cardiovascular disease, highlighting deep geographic disparity in access to cardiovascular care in the US. In this interview, Drs. Bailey and Kim discuss “Geographic Disparities in Access to Cardiologists in the United States.” Related References: Cross SH, Mehra MR, Bhatt DL, et al.
