VIDEO: Dr. Hodis - Are Low-Income Women More Likely To Die From Heart Disease?

Dr. Hodis explains if it is correct that low-income women are more likely to die from heart disease than affluent women.

Dr. Hodis:
Well, socioeconomic status plays a large role in men and women in terms of their presentation, the amount of risk factors they have and in their outcome and to the level of degree that they receive care for their risk factors as well as for their outcome. So in general, the answer to that question would be yes.
