Recommendations
As issued by the authors
South Asians have higher proportional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) mortality than other Asian groups and non-Hispanic whites
Biology of ASCVD is complex but no different in South Asians than in other racial/ethnic groups
Most risk in South Asians is explained by increased prevalence of known risk factors, especially those related to insulin resistance; no unique risk factors found
