African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) women globally experience health inequities that impact on their cardiovascular health outcomes during the perinatal period, and for years after. Aside from being at a high risk of having and dying from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, ACB women who survive face a lifelong risk of cardiovascular disease years after the diagnosis. Racism as a determinant of health intersects with gender, societal structures, and immigration status to contribute to cardiovascular health and access to quality health care services for ACB women. Equitable policies and culturally appropriate programs are needed to improve the cardiovascular health of ACB women.
全球范围内，非洲、加勒比和黑人（ACB）女性在围产期及之后的数年中面临着影响其心血管健康结果的健康不平等问题。除了患妊娠高血压疾病并因此死亡的风险很高外，存活下来的ACB女性在确诊后多年面临着患心血管疾病的终身风险。种族主义作为一种健康决定因素，与性别、社会结构和移民身份相互交织，影响着ACB女性的心血管健康以及获得优质医疗服务的机会。需要制定公平的政策和符合文化背景的项目来改善ACB女性的心血管健康。
