Plasma protein expression profiles, cardiovascular disease, and religious struggles among South Asians in the MASALA study

Abstract Blood protein concentrations are clinically useful, predictive biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite a higher burden of CVD among U.S. South Asians, no CVD-related proteomics study has been conducted in this sub-population. The aim of this study is to investigate the associati...
