    Impact of hospital volume on racial disparities in cardiovascular procedure mortality.
    (2006) Trivedi, Amal N; Sequist, Thomas D; Ayanian, John Z

Additional research is needed to determine why black patients have increased mortality after cardiovascular procedures and how these mortality rates can be reduced.
