Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a noninvasive marker of subclinical atherosclerosis linked to future cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its relationship with early cardiac remodeling and shared genetic basis with cardiovascular disease remain poorly understood. We investigated the phenotypic and genetic associations between cIMT, aortic and cardiac traits, and cardiovascular disease in...
