Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Associated with Serious Mental Illness among People of African Ancestry

There is an urgent need for earlier recognition and treatment of CVD and its risk factors in African American populations with SMI. Targeted clinical and lifestyle interventions in this population are warranted.
