Health outcomes and impact of cardiovascular disease vary between populations, where ethnic minorities and immigrant groups are more likely to be disadvantaged. Compared with the majority residents, health outcomes, especially short-term mortality from coronary heart disease event are worse in people of Chinese ethnicity, potentially due to poor self-management and experiences with the healthcare system in host countries. A scoping review was conducted. Four overarching themes were found: (1) understanding of heart disease, risk factors and symptom recognition, (2) adherence to medication and lifestyle modification, (3) health service/information choice, and (4) family role in disease self-management and decision making. All themes were greatly influenced by English language proficiency and cultural practices. English language proficiency and cultural practices should be taken into consideration when providing healthcare services for people of Chinese ethnicity, as it plays an important role in self-management and experiences with the healthcare system.

BackgroundChinese form a large proportion of the immigrant population in Western countries. There is evidence that Chinese immigrants experience an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) after immigration in part due to cultural habits and acculturation. This is the first systematic review and meta‐analysis that aims to examine the risk of CHD in people of Chinese ethnicity living in Western countries, in comparison with whites and another major immigrant group, South Asians.Methods and ResultsLiterature on the incidence, mortality, and prognosis of CHD among Chinese living in Western countries was searched systematically in any language using 6 electronic databases up to December 2014. Based on the meta‐analysis, Chinese had lower incidence of CHD compared with whites (odds ratio 0.29; 95% CI: 0.24–0.34) and South Asians (odds ratio 0.37; 95% CI: 0.24–0.57) but higher short‐term mortality after first hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction compared with whites (odds ratio 1.34; 95% CI, 1.04–1.73) and South Asians (odds ratio 1.82; 95% 1.33–2.50). There was no significant difference between Chinese immigrants and whites in long‐term outcomes (mortality and recurrent events) after acute myocardial infarction.ConclusionsThese findings provide an important focus for resource planning to enhance early secondary prevention of CHD to improve short‐term survival outcomes among Western‐dwelling Chinese immigrants.
