NC , I ABC Raison d’Etre (Why we need the ABC) ARDIOLOGISTS C The Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc. exists as an advocate, catalyst, organizer, coach, cheerleader, motivator, partner, leader, LACK B and innovator for programs that will reduce the tremendous car- diovascular disease burden for African Americans. Our goal is to achieve zero disparities in our vulnerability to cardiovascular dis- ease (CVD), access to quality health care and outcomes from treat- SSOCIATION OF A ment. Not to be overlooked is our belief that the number of African American health care providers should be representative of the population. In other words, the number of African American cardiologists should increase six hundred percent. Most African American men and women are more afraid of cancer (breast and prostate), AIDS and violence than CVD, even though CVD is responsible for more deaths in the Black community than 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 2004 ANNUAL all other diseases combined. In addition, those diagnosed with cancer and diabetes tend to become so preoccupied with address- 2 ing the immediate problem they succumb to CVD because these risk factors are ignored. While cancer, AIDS and violence are seri- ous problems that plague our community, we should not underes- timate the impact of CVD on our health and well being. Our first alert of a CVD problem is often our last. Three out of four deaths from coronary heart disease occur during the first attack. African Americans are also more likely to ignore and “tough out” the symp- toms of heart and brain attacks than Whites. Of particular concern to us is the recognition of the dramatic increase in obesity in African American women, particularly teenagers. We live in an era when adult women exercise more than girls. How about reinstating gym classes? Obesity is approaching epidemic proportions which has led to a 61 percent increase in the rate of those diagnosed with diabetes since 1990. Elementary and high school students now have immediate access to sodas (sugar water), doughnuts, candy and potato chips throughout the day hypertensive African American women may be attributable to high because school boards are selling their children’s health as a profit blood pressure (HBP). HBP continues to be the number one making entity from vending machines. What are your children eat- health problem in the Black community with high prevalence and ing for lunch?

We must recognize that uncontrolled hypertension and high blood Compared to whites, Blacks have a 1.3 times greater rate of non- cholesterol, physical inactivity, obesity, loneliness and isolation, fatal stroke, a 1.8 times greater rate of fatal stroke, a 1.5 times smoking, frustration and stress, (alone or in concert) destroy our greater rate of heart disease death and a 4.2 times greater rate of cardiovascular system.

ABC History FOUNDING MEMBERS 30 Years of Leadership: In 1974, at the first cardiovascular disease disparities conference, 17 dedicated medical professionals came together to establish an organization whose mission is to address the disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease and inequities in cardiovascular care for African Americans. This organization became the ABC. For the past 30 years, the ABC has continued to carry the mission and advance the goals of its founders.

All rights reserved. Objective Oral history is a collection of an individual's memories and opinions. As such, it is subject to the innate fallibility of memory and is susceptible to inaccuracy. All researchers using these interviews should be aware of this reality and are encouraged to seek corroborating documentation when using any oral history interview. The Pryor Center's objective is to collect audio and video recordings of interviews along with scanned images of family photographs and documents. These donated materials are carefully preserved, catalogued, and deposited in the Special Collections Department, University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville. The transcripts, audio files, video highlight clips, and photographs are made available on the Pryor Center Web site at http://pryorcenter.uark.edu. The Pryor Center recommends that researchers utilize the audio recordings and highlight clips, in addition to the transcripts, to enhance their connection with the interviewee. Transcript Methodology The Pryor Center recognizes that we cannot reproduce the spoken word in a written document; however, we strive to produce a transcript that represents the characteristics and unique qualities of the interviewee's speech pattern, style of speech, regional dialect, and personality. For the first twenty minutes of the interview, we attempt to transcribe verbatim all words and utterances that are spoken, such as uhs and ahs, false starts, and repetitions.
