Happy Diwali to all who celebrate. May the light of love, hope, and humanity shine through all of our lives
How do SDOH impact CV health in individual disaggregated Asian ethnic groups? In @CircAHA our @AHAScience Scientific Statement 🔗 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… A thread🧵:
Do US Asians get equitable MI quality of care? In @AHAScience GWTG of >700 US hospitals, Door-to-balloon time <90 mins less likely in Indian men, Filipina women vs. White OMT for MI less likely in Korean men vs White @CircOutcomes: tinyurl.com/yck8me9d
Among US South Asian adults, a culturally adapted group lifestyle intervention led to small improvements in self-reported health behaviors but was not more effective than written health education materials for CVD risk factor reduction. ja.ma/4elZKEX
An unsolved mystery, summary of work in progress to understand basis of propensity for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Feature @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158… by @AnilOza16
Critical evidence for #SouthAsianCVD, SAHELI results teach us about ☑️Effectiveness of health edu/counseling interventions for SAs, & where to go from here ☑️Adapting for diverse populations ☑️Importance of community engagement & partnership Led by @NammiKan @NUFeinbergMed ⤵️
@ankurnagpal @jaideeppatelmd @AAgarwalaMD @pnatarajanmd @RomitB_MD @amehta_09 @dranandrohatgi @PSatishMD @NilayShahMDMPH @KevinShahMD @NammiKan @alka_kanaya @DrMarthaGulati Check out @masala_study @MASALA2G @ourhealthstudy Spread the word to enroll 🙏🏾 Early CVD in #SouthAsians is complex/multifactorial. Can’t oversimplify with 1 reason or score or lab test But we need better execution of widespread screening & education on diet/lifestyle changes
@ankurnagpal Research on #SouthAsianCVD has exploded over the last decade. Follow folks like @jaideeppatelmd @AAgarwalaMD @pnatarajanmd @RomitB_MD @amehta_09 @dranandrohatgi @PSatishMD @NilayShahMDMPH @KevinShahMD @NammiKan @alka_kanaya @DrMarthaGulati & others for more insight…
Something every South Asian needs to come to grip with: We need to work substantially harder on our metabolic health and exercise than other ethnicities Different studies show we're anywhere from 4 to 6 times more likely to suffer heart disease and Type 2 diabetes
Shubh Diwali and Saal Mubarak to those who celebrate in our extended MASALA family! As we celebrate the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, may the lights of Diwali guide us to a more peaceful future for all of humanity. 🪔
What does being overweight in your 20s, 30s, and 40s mean for your later life? Especially for South Asian Americans, the implications might be more significant than you think. Dive into this thread to uncover findings from @masala_study
The MASALA-2G Study, the only study dedicated to advancing health in second generation South Asian Americans, is proud to support @RepJayapal @RepJoeWilson and this legislation! @nih_nhlbi @MASALA2G
Today, I introduced my bipartisan South Asian Heart Health Awareness and Research Act with @RepJoeWilson, legislation to raise awareness and put resources toward the alarming rate of heart disease for South Asians across the United States. jayapal.house.gov/2023/07/26/jay…

Epidemiology of ischemic heart disease in Asian American subgroups -- the imperative to prevent grows stronger @HeartDocSadiya @StanfordCAREs
In the US in 2018-2020, a higher proportion of mortality from ischemic heart disease was observed among Asian Indian, Chinese, and Filipino decedents compared with White decedents. ja.ma/3AYlK8l #IMResearch
