Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is commonly used as a surrogate for atherosclerosis. Since cIMT is correlated with hypertension and microalbuminuria, we tested the hypothesis that there is a genetic basis for the observed relationship between cIMT, blood pressure (BP), and renal function within high risk families. METHODS: Six hundred and three nondiabetic individuals from 149 Hispanic American...
