Neighborhood deprivation predicts heart failure risk in a low-income population of blacks and whites in the southeastern United States.
The researchers investigated whether neighborhood deprivation predicts risk of incident heart failure (HF) beyond individual socioeconomic status in a low-income population. They concluded that, in a low-income population from the Southern Community Cohort Study, scant neighborhood resources compounded the risk of HF above and beyond individual socioeconomic status and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Association between divorce and risks for acute myocardial infarction.
This study investigated the association between lifetime exposure to divorce and the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in US adults. Divorce is a significant risk factor for AMI. It found that the risks associated with multiple divorces are especially high in women and are not reduced with remarriage.
