Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite excessive rates of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, Afro-Caribbeans have lower mortality rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) than do whites. This study evaluated the association of genetic risk markers previously identified in whites and CHD in Afro-Caribbeans. METHODS: We studied 537 Afro-Caribbean individuals (178 CHD cases and 359 controls) who...
