Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate familial and genetic influences on carotid artery plaque, a qualitative marker of the systemic burden of atherosclerosis. METHODS: The design was a cross-sectional study of 2,223 members of 525 randomly-ascertained families and 2,514 members of 589 high coronary heart disease (CHD) risk families from 4 U.S. communities. RESULTS: The prevalence of plaque was 33, 36, and 47%, respectively,...
