Precision-CARRS
Improving how we predict cardiovascular disease by going beyond traditional risk factors and developing more personalized and precise approaches for earlier detection and prevention.
South Asians are an understudied population with a high burden of cardiovascular disease, often occurring at younger ages and lower body weights.
Their elevated risk of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis at younger ages offers a unique opportunity to better understand variation in cardiovascular risk beyond traditional ASCVD risk factors.
Purpose of Precision-CARRS
Prevalence & Predictors
Estimate prevalence, incidence, and predictors of subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease and to explore underlying pathophysiologic pathways.
Environmental Exposures
Assess contribution of environmental exposures, including air pollution and the built environment.
Multi-omic Determinants
Examine multi-omic determinants of disease.
Spousal & Behavioral
Evaluate spousal and behavioral influences.
Pillars of Data Collection
Questionnaire
Anthropometric Measurements
Blood Sample Collection
Cardiovascular Disease Imaging
