A thread🧵:
Do US Asians get equitable MI quality of care?
In @AHAScience GWTG of >700 US hospitals,
Door-to-balloon time <90 mins less likely in Indian men, Filipina women vs. White
OMT for MI less likely in Korean men vs White

Different studies show we're anywhere from 4 to 6 times more likely to suffer heart disease and Type 2 diabetes

The MASALA-2G Study, the only study dedicated to advancing health in second generation South Asian Americans, is proud to support @RepJayapal@RepJoeWilson and this legislation! @nih_nhlbi @MASALA2G
Today, I introduced my bipartisan South Asian Heart Health Awareness and Research Act with @RepJoeWilson, legislation to raise awareness and put resources toward the alarming rate of heart disease for South Asians across the United States. https://t.co/QdsdwqGJNs
