Abstract

Peripheral vascular care continues to mature into a well-developed multidisciplinary subspecialty. Continued growth as a collaborative subspecialty will require delivering the highest quality medical care to all Americans. US census projections predict that greater than one half of all American citizens will identify themselves as ethnic or racial minorities by 2050. Evolving research has established significant health care disparity, or preventable differences in disease incidence and vascular procedure outcomes associated with socioeconomic, gender, language, geographic, racial, and ethnic variables. As a necessary step in the evolution of vascular care, practitioners, societies, and vascular departments should begin to adopt proven practices that enhance our ability to deliver equal care to an increasingly diverse American population.
