A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that despite facing worse socioeconomic barriers (including low rates of health insurance), Hispanics were about 25% less likely to die of heart disease than whites. In 2016, Minnesotans experienced more than 45,000 acute heart disease hospitalizations. Every year from 2000 through 2017, Minnesota had the lowest overall heart disease mortality rate in the United States.
