South Asian Heart Health Fair

The North Texas Hindu Mandir and UT Southwestern Medical Center Division of Cardiology is sponsoring a heart health fair on October 19th. South Asians are at higher risk for heart disease, and heart disease hits them earlier in life. A study called MASALA aims to identify health risks faced by the South Asian community and to educate health care professionals who treat them. MASALA stands for Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America. Launched in 2010, it has uncovered important details about heart health in the South Asian community.
