Heart disease is more common in men than women, and there are racial disparities in rates of heart disease in Minnesota. Between 2020 and 2024, the heart disease death rate was 40% higher for American Indians in Minnesota than for Minnesotans overall. Disparities are even more pronounced among younger adults, with American Indian and Black/African American Minnesotans having much higher rates of hospitalization and death due to heart disease at younger ages than white Minnesotans.
