Disparate Cardiovascular Hospitalization Trends Among Young and Middle-Aged Adults Within and Across Race and Ethnicity Groups in Four States in the United States.

ABSTRACT: Background Inpatient hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease (CVD) decreased nationally in the past decade. However, data are lacking on whether national declines represent trends within and across race and ethnicity populations from different US regions.
