Cardiovascular risk management in South Asian adults requires tailored risk stratification, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions, and specialized clinics to address premature disease.
South Asian patients face a disproportionate burden of premature cardiovascular disease, necessitating tailored risk stratification and management strategies.
South Asians represent a growing percentage of the diverse population in the U.S. and are disproportionately impacted by a greater burden of aggressive and premature cardiovascular disease. There are multiple potential explanations for these findings including a high prevalence of traditional risk factors (particularly diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity), a genetic predisposition, and unique lifestyle factors. In this review, we discuss the cardiovascular risk stratification and disease management goals for South Asian adults. We review the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions studied in this population and discuss the role of specialized clinics and digital outreach to improve care for this vulnerable group of patients.
