Genetics of coronary artery disease: Short people at risk?

Expert review of cardiovascular therapy - 1 Nov 2015

Trenkwalder Teresa, Kessler Thorsten, Schunkert Heribert, Erdmann Jeanette

Abstract excerpt

Traditional cardiovascular risk factors have been in the spotlight for coronary artery disease (CAD) management over the past decades. A non-modifiable risk marker is short adult stature. However, a causal role in the etiology of CAD was always questioned, since multiple confounders may also explain the inverse association between height and CAD risk. The assumption that genetic variants affecting height do so...
