Abstract
- Black heart attack patients who are treated by a black doctor are no more likely to have cardiac catheterization then black patients treated by a white doctor. Black heart attack patients as a group are less likely to have cardiac catheterization than whites, but a study of 35,676 white patients and 4,039 black patients found this was not caused by the race of the doctor.
