Statin Use and Risk Prediction of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Minority Subgroups (SURPASS) Study

Description

Despite advances in technology, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death, disability, and healthcare costs in the U.S. Yet, there is a tremendous gap in accurate cardiovascular risk prediction and prevention, particularly in racial/ethnic minorities.

The overall goal of this study is to address gaps in knowledge about CVD prediction and treatment in understudied racial/ethnic minority populations. The study will utilize the electronic health record data from the CASPER study, an established NHLBI-funded cohort enriched with disaggregated Hispanic and Asian patients.
