Genetics of intima-media thickness.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Apr 2003

Zannad Faiez, Benetos Athanase

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular disease and is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes. Consequently, the measurement is now used in a number of case control, cohort and familial and linkage studies as an intermediate phenotype for the investigation of the genetic and...
