When it comes to matters of the heart, Black people experience it all.
Heart disease is the top killer in the U.S., and we suffer from it more than any other race. And, we are less likely to get the right treatment for it.
NOWINCLUDED is here to make sure this doesn’t continue.
Through our heart health community, we support people like you, or someone you know, who may be at greater risk for heart disease. By joining our community, you’ll get access to trusted resources to keep your heart problems at bay.

When it comes to your heart, here are some common conditions that impact our community the most.
Arrhythmia simply means “irregular heartbeat.” When your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or at a different pace altogether, it can increase your chances of other conditions like strokes or heart failure.
Heart attacks happen when the blood flow to the heart is blocked or reduced. This can happen due to fat or other substances that can get in the way of your heart receiving the blood it needs.
Also known as high blood pressure (HBP), more than 50% of Black Americans have hypertension. Often called the “silent killer,” when uncontrolled, HBP can lead to other chronic diseases such as heart disease and chronic kidney disease.
Learning about Lipoprotein(a) can help inform conversations with your doctor.
When we are not included in clinical research for heart disease, we can’t be sure if a treatment will work just as well or be just as safe for us as it will for other races.
By participating in clinical research, we can give ourselves a chance to have treatments that may work better and be safer for us.
Learning more about clinical research can be a critical step in improving health outcomes for future generations.
