Analysis of Cardiac Biomarker Racial Discrepancies

Sponsor: Methodist Health System

Summary

The goal is to review cardiac biomarkers present on admission between African American patients with new onset Heart Failure compared to a comparable cohort of Caucasian patients to establish whether there is a clinically significant difference between the two groups regarding cardiac biomarker levels and initial Heart Failure severity. Hypothesis: Cardiac biomarker levels in African American patients with new onset Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction will be significantly lower than a Caucasian cohort with new onset Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction.
