The United States House of Representatives recently passed a bill that aims to address the disproportionate impact of heart disease in the South Asian population.
If signed into law, the South Asian Heart Health Awareness and Research Act of 2022 would support research on heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other heart-related conditions in the South Asian community and additional at-risk populations. It would also allow states to establish awareness initiatives and distribute educational materials to promote prevention.
“I’m really proud that we got 18 Republicans on the bill,”
