Abstract:
This narrative review seeks to elucidate clinical and social factors influencing cardiovascular health, explore the challenges and potential solutions for enhancing cardiovascular health, and identify areas where further research is needed to better understand cardiovascular issues in native and American Pakistani populations.
The prevalence of cardiometabolic disease is high not only in Pakistan but also among its global diaspora. This situation is further complicated by the inadequacy of current cardiovascular risk assessment tools, which often fall short of accurately gauging the risk among Pakistani individuals, underscoring the urgent need for more tailored and effective assessment methodologies. Moreover, social determinants play a crucial role in shaping cardiovascular health. The burden of cardiovascular disease and upstream risk factors is high among American Pakistani individuals. Future research is needed to better understand the heightened risk of cardiovascular disease among Pakistani individuals.
摘要:
目的:这篇叙述性综述旨在阐明影响心血管健康的临床和社会因素,探索增强心血管健康的挑战和潜在解决方案,并确定需要进一步研究的领域,以更好地了解土著和美国巴基斯坦人口的心血管问题。
结果:不仅在巴基斯坦,而且在其全球侨民中,心脏代谢疾病的患病率都很高。当前心血管风险评估工具的不足使这种情况更加复杂。通常无法准确衡量巴基斯坦人的风险,强调迫切需要更有针对性和更有效的评估方法。此外,社会决定因素在塑造心血管健康中起着至关重要的作用。在美国巴基斯坦人中,心血管疾病和上游危险因素的负担很高。未来的研究需要更好地了解巴基斯坦人心血管疾病风险的增加。
