- State health data shows Harlem has higher rates of heart disease than any other neighborhood in New York City. This National Wear Red Day, one woman shares her health scare in hopes of helping others.Last year, Mapp worked herself so hard at her two jobs, she developed an abnormal heartbeat, known as Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib. She finally went to the urgent care after weeks of not being able to breathe.
Dr. Sabharwal got Mapp's condition under control. She says women of color have higher rates of heart disease due to genetics and lifestyles, but many cases go undiagnosed, mainly because women often present different symptoms than men. Mount Sinai's annual Go Red event encourages women to check their heart health, especially this year. The past two years, the event was canceled due to the pandemic and many missed the critical connection to care. Combined with less movement and more appointment cancelations, doctors saw disease rates reverse direction.
