NIH/NHLBI funded research project studying cardiac structure and function determinants in rural US adults to reduce cardiovascular disease burden and promote health equity using echocardiography and AI.
Description
The proposed research is relevant to public health because cardiovascular disease is a dire health concern for rural dwelling adults in the US who are among the most resource-limited. The work aims to identify determinants of differences in cardiac structure and function in rural America and their relationship to subclinical cardiovascular disease, considering a broad view of health determinants. It aligns with NIH and NHLBI missions to improve health in rural America and reduce health disparities.
