Clinical programs for cardiometabolic health for South Asian patients in the United States: A review of key program components
Key result
South Asians have approximately a 2-fold higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease compared with other populations, prompting the development of tailored clinical programs in the US.
Why the study?
South Asians face approximately a 2-fold higher risk of atherosclerotic CVD, leading to specialized US clinical programs whose key characteristics and programmatic gaps need summarizing.

Implication
May guide culturally tailored CVD programs for South Asians; leaves open need for controlled outcome trials before adoption.
Structured PICO
P
Population
South Asian American patients at risk for or with cardiovascular disease
E
Exposure
Clinical programs dedicated to preventing and managing CVD in South Asian American patients
O

Key characteristics of clinical programs
Dedicated clinical programs for South Asian Americans incorporate culturally tailored components to address their 2-fold higher risk of atherosclerotic CVD.
Limitations
- Many evidence and programmatic gaps remain in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CVD in South Asians.

Gulati et al. (2023) conducted a review in Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Clinical programs for cardiometabolic health was evaluated. South Asians have approximately a 2-fold higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease compared with other populations, prompting the development of tailored clinical programs in the US.
