Highlights the growing importance of assessing cardiovascular health risks, quality of care, and outcomes among Chinese and South Asian populations in North America.
W ith a combined population of 2.8 billion people, China and the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, comprise 40% of the global population of nearly 7 billion people.
