Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association (AHA) recently developed the Cardiovascular Health Index (CVHI), a health metric consisting of 7 modifiable risk factors. The relationship of the CVHI with preclinical markers, such as carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has not been assessed. METHODS: We examined 490 male monozygotic and dizygotic twins without overt cardiovascular disease. CIMT was measured using...
