COVID-19 healthcare disruptions and heart health inequities in NYC adults with multiple conditions

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This grant follows adults over time to understand how disruptions to ambulatory care during the early COVID-19 period impacted cardiovascular health among people with multiple chronic conditions. It uses data from NYC academic medical centers and public hospitals to track patterns in care delivery, including telemedicine and in-person visits, and to see how these changes relate to outcomes like heart attacks and other cardiovascular events. The study builds on existing electronic health record networks to analyze real-world information from diverse patient populations. The goal is to identify disparities and inform strategies to strengthen care continuity during future health system shocks.
