A New Era in Prevention: The Treatise on Heart Disease 2025

Indians account for 70 – 75% of South Asians and they suffer from heart disease earlier, more severely, and at twice the rate of other populations. The Treatise on Heart Disease In Indians was born out of necessity—driven by powerful new scientific evidence demonstrating the benefits of early intervention at lower thresholds for key risk factors such as cholesterol, LDL, blood pressure, body weight, and waist circumference. Research now shows that addressing these risks earlier in life and more aggressively can significantly reduce the cumulative lifetime burden of cardiovascular disease. In short, prevention must begin sooner—and at lower levels of risk—than ever before.

The new book Treatise on Heart Disease in Indians by cardiologist Enas A. Enas, MD, FACC and Basil Varkey, MD, FRCP, FCCP explains why — and what can be done to stop it. Blending cutting-edge science with practical advice, the book highlights:

• The Indian Paradox
• Genetic drivers
• Early, aggressive disease
• Prevention tools
• Global lessons

With clear explanations, key takeaways, and powerful illustrations, this book is both a comprehensive medical resource and an urgent call to action.

Treatise on Heart Disease in Indians is the first complete guide to understanding and preventing this epidemic — for cardiologists, doctors, researchers, and anyone concerned about heart health.
