Sumario: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.
