Description
Summary:•The majority of South Asians in MASALA are at intermediate or high 10-year heart failure risk.•Diabetes is an important heart failure risk factor in South Asian Americans.•Heart failure risk is associated with income, education, and birthplace in South Asian Americans. South Asian Americans experience disproportionately high burden of cardiovascular diseases. Estimating predicted heart failure (HF) risk distribution may facilitate targeted prevention. We estimated the distribution of 10-year predicted risk of incident HF in South Asian Americans and evaluated the associations with social determinants of health and clinical risk factors. In the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) Study, we calculated 10-year predicted HF risk using the Pooled Cohort Equations to Prevent Heart Failure multivariable model.
