AB Ms.  Jones  is  a  64-year-old  African  American  woman  with  a  history  of  hypertension  (HTN),  type  2  diabetes  mellitus,  and  remote  tobacco  usage  who  works  as  a  teller  at  a  bank.  She  presents  with  complaints  of  increased  dyspnea  on  exertion  after  walking  25  feet.  She  has  noticed  bilateral  lower  extremity  edema  and  has  been  sleeping  in  a  recliner  on  the  first  floor  of  her  home  rather  than  in  her  bed  on  the  second  floor  for  the  past  month  because  of  shortness  of  breath  when  climbing  stairs.  Should  the  diagnosis  of  heart  failure  (HF)  and  management  be  based  upon  the  patient’s  race  and  ethnicity?
