Possibly.
Many South Asians develop cardiovascular disease despite traditional markers being within standard reference ranges.

If you have established cardiovascular disease, you should continue care with your cardiologist and primary care physician.
DesiDil does not replace cardiology care.
However, we can work with you to:
-Review contributing metabolic and genetic risk factors
-Evaluate whether additional markers should be assessed
-Identify areas for further risk reduction
-Develop a structured prevention strategy aimed at reducing future events
We collaborate, not compete, with your existing care team.
