Show Notes
🧬 South Asians make up 25% of the world—yet just 3% of major cardiovascular trials.
A new systematic review (310 RCTs, 1M+ participants) reveals stark underrepresentation, especially outside India.
No South Asians in trials for heart failure, cardiac arrest, or valvular disease.
📉 The data gap is real—and it's limiting care.
🔍 We need global trial designs that are inclusive, disaggregated, and powered for equity.
Let's change the research playbook. 💡
