Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in Colorado.[1] This is especially true in the Latino population who are at greater risk for CVD compared to non-Latino whites, and suffer more premature CVD deaths.[2] Among persons less than 34 years, Latinos are four times more likely to die from heart disease than non-Latino whites, a disparity that lessens but does not disappear with age (1.5 ratios among persons 55 - 64 yrs old). Recently, the INTERHEART study demonstrated that 90% of the population attributable risk is due to established modifiable risk factors (smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, psychosocial factors, daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, regular alcohol consumption and regular physical activity).[3] Many individuals in the general population have one or more risk factors for CVD and over 90% of CVD events occur in individuals with at least one risk factor,[3, 4] with few events occurring in individuals with no risk factors, thus supporting the notion of focusing prevention activities on individuals at higher risk for CVD.
