📢 New Data Drop! 🫀💥
South Asian adults in the U.S. have an earlier and sharper rise in coronary artery calcium (CAC) — a silent marker of heart disease risk! 🇮🇳📊
In a first-of-its-kind study combining MASALA & DILWALE cohorts (n=2,743), 65% of South Asian men and 30% of women had CAC >0 by age 55 — and women catch up fast after menopause. 🚹➡️🚺
📌 Sex-specific CAC percentiles = smarter screening, better prevention.
💡 Time to rethink traditional risk calculators for this high-risk group.
