Background: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and cardiometabolic risk factors have been extensively investigated in those of European descent, yet they are more common among South Asians who make up around 20% of the world's population. We explored the differences in IHD and cumulative metabolic profile in South Asians with stroke living in the UK, India and Qatar, compared with white British stroke patients.
Methods: The study included first-ever ischemic stroke white British patients and South Asians living in UK, India and Qatar from the ongoing large Bio-Repository of DNA in Stroke (BRAINS) international hospital-based stroke study.
