This observational study, called the South Asians and Coronary Plaque Registry, aims to understand why South Asian individuals may have a higher risk of heart disease. Researchers will use a Coronary CT Angiogram (CCTA), which is a special X-ray test, to look at the arteries that supply blood to your heart and identify plaque characteristics. You can join if you are 18 or older and identify as South Asian, or if you are a non-South Asian adult volunteer for comparison. The study hopes to gather information about plaque features to help with future research into heart disease in this group. The current status of the study is unclear, but it plans to enroll 300 participants.
