“…Some previous studies [5,24], but not all [29], reported that hypocholesterolemia was associated with the higher risk of cerebral haemorrhage with the existence of hypertension. The relationship in the present study might be due to an acute combined effect between hypertension and hypocholesterolemia.…”

“…Physicians can lower threshold for prescription of anti-atherosclerotic medications like statins. The optimum triglyceride levels in Asian Indians appears to be 150 mg/dL compared to the 200 mg/dL for others in western society (65). Therefore, aggressive screening tests for CAD in Asian Indians is beneficial.…”

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of cardiovascular death worldwide. Prevalence of CAD is highly variable among different races. Asian Indians have been noted to have the highest CAD rates and the conventional risk factors fail to explain this difference completely. Asian Indians constitute a fifth of the global population, and the higher rates of CAD in this population constitute a major health challenge.There have been studies in the early 2000s that investigate the risk factors in this population; however, very few studies have been done since then that explore the higher CAD rates in Asian Indians. This is a comprehensive and current review of the known risk factors for CAD in Asian Indians and strategies physicians should consider relieving this burden.

“…The Korean Medical Insurance Corporation Study evaluated 114 793 Korean men (mean age of 45 years) over a 6-year period. 6 Low serum cholesterol stratified by quintiles was not associated with an increased risk for intracerebral or subarachnoid bleeds, although smoking was a significant risk factor for subarachnoid hemorrhage, and hypertension was a significant risk factor for both types of hemorrhagic stroke.…”
