A commitment to advocacy for genetic predisposition of heart disease.
Breaking boundaries and building bridges.
“South Asians develop coronary artery disease up to 10 years earlier than the general population, on average.”
The SSATHI program at Stanford Medicine.
Our goals
Advocacy about:
- The causes and impacts of heart disease
- Genetic predisposition in specific global groups
- Cultural impacts and their significance
Fundraising for:
- Heart disease research.
- The SSATHI group.
“Harmony for Hearts works towards increasing awareness of genetic risk factors and supporting research for new treatment options for the South Asian community.”

Our current project.
We are involved with supporting the Stanford South Asian Translational Heart Initiative through fundraising and outreach work.
SSATHI
This project focuses on researching the genetic and hormonal risk factors behind heart disease in South Asians. This research will then be used to create technologies to be able to predict and treat patients at high risk of heart disease early on.

Contributing
Harmony for Hearts will support the SSATHI project through fundraising and awareness initiatives. By fundraising and spreading the word about SSATHI, we hope to be able to contribute to their cause.
Impact
This research aligns exactly with our goals. With this partnership, long term solutions to early diagnosis for heart disease and considering genetic factors to predict these conditions will be developed. This will create a more inclusive and prepared treatment option for patients.
