The current literature indicates that of the major risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), United States blacks and whites have similar rates for cigarette smoking and cholesterol levels. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is higher in black females than white females. Both black males and females have higher prevalence rates for hypertension. These differences in risk factors between blacks and whites in spite of similar degrees of CAD suggest that the relative importance of specific risk factors might differ between the two racial groups. Research is needed to determine if there are protective factors in blacks (e.g., high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and/or previously unrecognized risk factors (e.g., diuretic-induced lipid abnormalities) that may be playing a major role in the epidemiology of CAD in the black population.
当前文献表明，在冠状动脉疾病（CAD）的主要危险因素方面，美国黑人和白人在吸烟率和胆固醇水平上相近。糖尿病在黑人女性中的患病率高于白人女性。黑人男性和女性的高血压患病率均较高。尽管CAD程度相似，但黑人和白人在危险因素上存在这些差异，这表明特定危险因素的相对重要性在这两个种族群体中可能有所不同。需要开展研究以确定黑人中是否存在保护因素（例如高密度脂蛋白胆固醇）和/或先前未被认识到的危险因素（例如利尿剂引起的脂质异常），这些因素可能在黑人人群CAD的流行病学中起主要作用。
