Abstract

In the last two decades, empirical research has significantly advanced our understanding of the link between discrimination and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This integrated scoping and narrative literature review delineates the extant peer-reviewed research on discrimination and clinical and subclinical CVD in samples that include Black adults, using a multilevel conceptualization of race-related discrimination and racism. We also identify potential intermediary mechanisms in the racism-CVD relationship and propose a comprehensive future research agenda.
