Al Rifai M, et al. – Researchers investigated the relationship between predicted 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk and coronary artery calcium (CAC) in 536 South Asians (SAs) from the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) study vs other racial/ethnic groups from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) who were not currently on statins. Findings revealed higher odds of CAC = 0 among low- and intermediate-risk SAs compared with non-Hispanic White participants. Researchers also found that the extent of ASCVD risk overestimation may be even greater among SAs considered at low and intermediate risk vs the non-Hispanic White population.
