One of the primary reasons for complications and death worldwide are cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with a death toll of approximately 18 million per year. CVDs include cardiomyopathy, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart attack, hearth failure, etc. Over 80% of the CVD mortality is recorded from lower and middle-income countries. Records from the past decade have highlighted the increase of CVDs among the South Asian populations, and the prime purpose of the review is to jot down the reasons for the steep spike in CVDs. Studies analyzing the causative factors for the increase of CVDs in South Asians are still to be verified. Apart from known predisposing and lifestyle factors, other emerging risk factors associated with CVDs, namely the musculoskeletal diseases sarcopenia and osteopenia, should be tracked to tackle research gaps in upcoming analyses. This requires loads of scientific efforts. With proper monitoring, the raising alarm that the CVD burden generates can be reduced. This review discusses the already established signs and recognizes important clues to the emerging etiology of CVDs in the Asian population and prevention measures to keep it at bay.
心血管疾病（CVDs）是全球并发症和死亡的主要原因之一，每年造成约1800万人死亡。心血管疾病包括心肌病、高血压、缺血性心脏病、冠心病、心肌梗死、心脏病发作、心力衰竭等。超过80%的心血管疾病死亡率来自低收入和中等收入国家。过去十年的记录突出了南亚人群中心血管疾病的增加，而本次综述的主要目的是记录心血管疾病急剧上升的原因。分析南亚人心血管疾病增加的致病因素的研究仍有待验证。除了已知的易患因素和生活方式因素外，还应追踪与心血管疾病相关的其他新兴风险因素，即肌肉骨骼疾病肌肉减少症和骨质减少症，以填补即将进行的分析中的研究空白。这需要大量的科学努力。通过适当的监测，可以减轻心血管疾病负担所发出的日益严重的警报。本综述讨论了已确定的迹象，并认识到亚洲人群中心血管疾病新出现病因的重要线索以及预防措施。
