Hmong patients are twice as likely to suffer strokes than their white counterparts, and at younger ages, according to a first-of-its-kind study published recently by a University of Minnesota researcher.
The study analyzed 10 years of data from 128 Hmong stroke patients at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. The findings were published this month in the Journal of the American Heart Association by lead author Dr. Haitham Hussein, a neurologist at M Health Fairview who also serves as an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
