In the context of the most significant influx of migrants in
European history, the objective of this book is to provide
healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and skills to
effectively treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases in ethnic
minorities. Acknowledging that the scientific and cultural training
of health professionals on the specific health needs of minority
groups is still limited and likely biased, the book sheds light on
the different health policies in European countries as well as
epidemiologic data on cardiovascular events among migrants. In
addition, it presents an in-depth analysis of potential
ethnic-group-specific drivers of global cardiovascular risk within
this new and challenging framework - as well as issues related to
its prevention and treatment. The prevalence of hypertension,
diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome
is found to be higher among most minority groups than in the native
population, yet their access to treatment and health services may
be limited by cultural and language barriers. As health
professionals are confronted with such intercultural challenges on
a daily basis, specific training and dedicated publications are
thus essential to accompany and foster a constructive development
towards a pluralist and healthier society. This book addresses that
need, offering a unique and revealing resource.
