Genetically determined ancestry associates with morphological and molecular carotid plaque features

2025-06-08

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis, the main driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is influenced by a plethora of risk factors, including age, gender, and diabetes, that correlate with socio-economic status and may vary across ethnicities. These factors fail to fully explain observed ethnic disparities in CVD burden. For example, coronary artery calcification increases with age regardless of ethnicity, yet CAC is more prevalent in...
