Epidemiologist Mohammed Ali highlights that early heart disease is alarmingly prevalent among South Asians, with significant contributions to global cardiovascular issues.
The South Asian paradox illustrates that a large and ethnically diverse population experiences high rates of heart disease without conventional risk factors, pointing to underlying genetic influences.
Research efforts are underway to address the historical lack of genomic data on South Asians, with initiatives aimed at improving understanding of this population's health risks.
Despite contributing to a large portion of global heart disease, South Asians remain underrepresented in cardiovascular genomics studies, limiting insights into their health concerns.
