Although South Asians express increased features (conventional) of insulin resistance syndrome, these do not fully explain the increased mortality both from ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic stroke in South Asians compared to Whites. Thrombotic risk factors for vascular disease, as a part of insulin resistance syndrome in South Asians, are being investigated and are an important moiety. The management of the epidemic of ischaemic vascular disease in South Asians is a major global endeavour.
