Multi-Ethnic Genetic Association Study of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Using a Targeted Cardiovascular SNP Microarray
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Identification of subclinical atherosclerosis by ultrasonographic measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a validated tool, in conjunction with traditional risk factors, for clinical assessment of cardiovascular disease risk. IMT has also been recognized as a quantitative measure of cardiovascular disease progression in asymptomatic individuals, and many candidate gene association studies have attempted to …
