In @JACCJournals Asia, our systematic review of ~1M participants across 310 CVD trials shows only ~3% were #SouthAsian and only 6 trials published #SouthAsian outcome data. 🙏to mentors @pnatarajanmd @DLBHATTMD.
South Asian individuals have greater CVD event rates and comprise 1 in 4 individuals worldwide. However, in our systematic review of 310 major CVD trials led by @NishantUppal7, only 3% of trial participants are South Asian individuals @JACCJournals

Excellent overview in @JAMA_current by @suhas_gondi and @bnrome on the recently announced most favored nation (MFN) policy. 1 of 2 viewpoints in @JAMA_current on the same day on MFN. Both call instead for better US payer price negotiation to lower💊 prices.

This Viewpoint discusses the most favored nation policy vs price negotiation for reducing drug prices.
In @JAMA_current we explore the recent EO on most favored nation drug pricing, why we shouldn't import prices from other countries but rather the process they use to get better prices, and chart a different path to lower US drug prices by linking to value.
