CADI (Coronary Artery Disease among Asian Indians) Research Foundation is a non-profit tax-exempt organization dedicated to reducing the ravages of heart disease around the globe, with special focus on Asian Indians - a population with the highest rate of premature coronary artery disease.

Asian Indians develop heart disease at a younger age, lower weight and lower waist girth than all other populations. At any given level of cardiovascular risk factors, Asian Indians and other South Asians have more than double the risk of dying from heart disease even when they have access to free comprehensive and high quality medical care through national health Insurance. The priorities of CADI Research Foundation include:

Expanding the scientific knowledge base
Raising the awareness
Educating health care professionals and the public at large
Promoting early detection and proper treatment
Providing educational seminars and materials

Heart Disease has now become the most predictable, preventable and treatable of all chronic diseases. Discover how you can reduce your risks to heart disease.
