South Asians (SAs, individuals with ancestry from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) are among the fastest growing ethnic subgroups in United States. SAs typically experience a high prevalence of diabetes, abdominal obesity, hypertension, other cardiovascular disease risk factors, which often under recognized undermanaged. The excess coronary heart this population must be critically assessed managed culturally appropriate preventive services. Accordingly,...
The Asian American population in the U.S. comprises various, ethnically diverse subgroups. Traditionally, this has been studied as a single, aggregated group, potentially masking differences risk among Analyses using disaggregated data can help better characterize health needs of different subpopulations and inform targeted, effective public interventions. We assessed prevalence cardiovascular disease (CVD) factors atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) their associations with socioeconomic Chinese,...
To evaluate the burden of cardiovascular risk factors and disease (CVD) among five Asian groups living in Catalonia (Spain): Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino, Chinese.Retrospective cohort study using Catalan Health Surveillance System database including 42 488 Pakistanis, 40 745 Chinese, 21 705 Indians, 9544 Filipinos, 6907 Bangladeshis; 5.3 million native individuals ('locals'). We estimated age-adjusted prevalence (as 31 December 2019) incidence (during diabetes, hypertension,...
As the global population ages and cardiovascular risk factors rise, we can expect a continued increase in atherosclerotic disease. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction is cornerstone of with strong, causal evidence indicating that greatest benefit derived from early large decreases LDL-C. Despite adoption statins as backbone lipid-therapy regimens, numerous studies registry analyses reveal our collective inability to achieve LDL-C goals high-risk patients. Combination...
This study examined the relationship between a validated measure of socioeconomic deprivation, such as Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and morbid obesity. We used cross-sectional data on adult patients (≥18 years) in Houston Methodist Cardiovascular Disease Health System Learning Registry (located Houston, Texas, USA) June 2016 July 2021. Each patient was grouped by quintiles ADI, with higher signaling greater deprivation. BMI calculated using measured height weight obesity defined ≥ 40 kg/m2....
Scaling has remained a challenge for social enterprises, which strive to balance impact with financial performance facilitate sustainable development. Product diversification, common scaling strategy in commercial been recently proposed as scale enterprises while keeping their dual goals balance. We empirically investigate this using combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses microfinance institutions India. Our inductive analysis reveals that product diversification varies along...
Background The clinical significance of mitral annular calcification (MAC) in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is not well understood. There limited evidence regarding the feasibility, durability repair, and prognostic value MAC this population. We sought to examine MAC, its severity, impact on procedural success repair. Methods Results reviewed records 280 with moderate-severe or severe regurgitation who underwent MitraClip from March 2014 2022. primary end point was...
Lower statin utilization is reported among women compared to men, however large-scale studies evaluating gender disparities in LDL-C management individuals with ASCVD and its subtypes remain limited, particularly across age racial/ethnic subgroups. In this study, we address knowledge gap using data from a large US healthcare system.
Despite implementation of preventive interventions targeting cardiovascular disease (CVD), atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) remains a major public health concern in the South Asian (SA) population. The purpose this study was to assess risk factor prevalence and ASCVD outcomes SA population United States. DIL Wellness Arterial Longitudinal Evaluation registry collected data retrospectively on adult patients receiving care Baylor Scott & White Healthcare system. Overall sex stratified analyses were...
In a nationally representative population-based study of US adults, the authors sought to examine association between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in sample adults with without atherosclerotic (ASCVD), further stratified by age, sex, race/ethnicity. The used data from 2006 2015 National Health Interview Survey categorized participants into following BMI categories: normal weight (20–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), obesity class 1 (30–34.9), 2...
