Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis-a major cause of vascular disease, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a pathology that has a two-fold higher mortality rate in the Azorean Islands compared to mainland Portugal. AIM: This cross-sectional study investigated the role of genetic variation in the prevalence of atherosclerosis in this population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 305 individuals were characterized...
