This is the introduction paper to the first part of the 2-issue series of the Journal of Prevention and Intervention in the Community with a focused theme on "Cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in the minority and minoritized communities." Beginning with a brief discussion on the disease burden and healthcare cost related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), this paper offers a quick overview on status and limitation of the existing public health studies that examine the disparities in the risk factors, prevalence, and prevention of CVDs across communities globally and locally. The paper ends with a call for more research to adopt an intersectionality framework and a multiscale lens to study the layered and systemic nature of disparities in CVDs among minority and minoritized communities.
