ABSTRACT
South Asians are at an elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) when compared with other age-matched subjects of varied ethnicities. The elevated ASCVD risk is multifactorial including a constellation of hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, overweight/obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although traditional ASCVD risk factors remain highly prevalent in South Asians living in the United States, modifiable risk factors of diet, lack of physical activity/increased sedentary time, smoking (of all forms), and excessive alcohol consumption further accelerate the disease process. In this review, we take a deep dive into optimizing lifestyle to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in this high-risk ethnic group.
