Abstract excerpt

We aimed to test the association between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genetic polymorphisms and (a) intima-media thickness in the common carotid (IMTcc) and (b) the presence of plaques in the carotid and femoral bifurcations. Carotid and femoral bifurcations were scanned with ultrasound in 762 Cypriot community dwellers (46% men) over the age of 40 years. IMTcc and the presence of plaques were recorded. The...
