Abstract
IMPORTANCE: Asia faces a rapidly rising burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Preventive cardiology efforts may help address the CVD epidemic. OBSERVATIONS: Solutions to address the CVD burden include a cardiovascular risk assessment framework, improving health screening efforts, better cardiovascular risk factor management, novel innovation strategies encompassing targeted lifestyle measures, and strengthening governmental efforts. With the region's wide socioeconomic and other disparities, contextualizing and practical adaptation of various strategies into local practices, especially in low-middle-income countries, will determine the success of CVD prevention efforts. CONCLUSIONS: A differential approach addressing cardiovascular risk factor screening, prevention, and management that considers the context-specific socioeconomic, governmental, and cultural aspects in diverse Asian populations may help reduce the rapidly rising CVD trajectory in Asia.
