🎧 New Episode: The Heart of Prevention Podcast
Launching July 15, 2026

Chasing the SAPNA: Better Prevention for South Asian Hearts

South Asians face one of the highest burdens of premature cardiovascular disease worldwide — yet traditional risk tools often underestimate their risk.

Starting July 15, tune in to Episode 16, where host Dr. Keerthana Pakanati @Kpakanati3 sits down with Dr. Anurag Mehta @amehta_09 (Emory University) and Dr. Mazhar Afaq (University of Kansas Health System), Co-Chairs of ASPC's South Asian Prevention Network (SAPNA), to unpack:
🔹 The unique "South Asian phenotype" and why conventional risk calculators fall short
🔹 Identifying cardiometabolic disease through family history & metabolic risk factors
🔹 Culturally informed dietary counseling and patient engagement
🔹 Community-based prevention initiatives that are moving the needle
🔹 Critical gaps still facing CVD research in this population

Whether you care for South Asian patients or are passionate about equitable cardiovascular prevention, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based strategies for earlier detection and better outcomes.

🎧 Available July 15 — listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: https://t.co/0n888SKyzh
