Cardiovascular diseases among Asian Indians – Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 3.30 pm Central – Zoom
Date: Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 3.30 pm Central
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of cardiovascular death worldwide. The prevalence of CAD is highly variable among different races. Asian Indians have been noted to have the highest CAD rates and the conventional risk factors fail to explain this difference completely. Asian Indians constitute a fifth of the global population, and the higher rates of CAD in this population constitute a major health challenge. Within the US, hospitalization of Asian Indians for CAD is 4 times higher compared to White, Japanese, and Filipinos and 6 times higher compared to Chinese. In general, Asian Indians get hospitalized for CAD complications 2–4 times higher than other ethnic groups and 5–10 times higher for the population under 40 years of age.
