Social vulnerability index (SVI) estimates the vulnerability of communities to disasters, encompassing 4 separate domains (socioeconomic, household composition and disability, minority status and language, and housing and transportation).

Objectives

This scoping review explored the literature between the SVI and CVD continuum, with a goal to identify gaps in understanding the impact of the SVI on CVD and to elucidate future research opportunities.

Methods

We systematically searched 7 databases from inception to May 19, 2023, for articles that explored the relationship between the SVI and CVD care continuum, including prevention, diagnosis and prevalence, treatment, and health ou
