Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Recently, we observed in a hypothesis-generating exploratory search on the heritability of coronary morphology that left main coronary disease (LMD) was frequently shared by siblings with coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, our aims were, first, to test specifically the familial aggregation of LMD and second, to investigate whether LMD is a stronger predictor for future incident events than other...
