Abstract

A literature review utilising literary databases, World Wide Web and hand checking of written articles was conducted to determine the magnitude of the problem of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Indians with a particular emphasis on those in Australia. Health care professionals need to be aware that Indians have a higher than average risk of CHD at an earlier age and poorer survival and this is impacted on by genetic, social and cultural factors. The experiences of Indians with CHD needs to be researched so that prevention and rehabilitation programs can be individualised for this well developed community group in Australia.
