IGF::OT::IGF - MULTI-ETHNIC STUDY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS (MESA)III- COORDINATING CENTER

多种族动脉粥样硬化研究（MESA） http://mesa-nhlbi.org/external免责声明是一项研究，旨在调查亚临床CVD的患病率、相关性和进展，以及预测临床显性CVD进展的危险因素，并预测亚临床疾病本身的进展，该研究以6800名不同种族的男性和女性为样本。该队列从六个领域中心招募，并通过计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和其他基线测量来确定冠状动脉钙化、心室质量和功能的特征。在随后的3次检查中重复了几种亚临床疾病的测量。参与者将被跟踪以识别和描述心血管疾病事件和所接受的干预措施。

The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) http://mesa-nhlbi.org/external disclaimer is a study that investigate the prevalence, correlates, and progression of subclinical CVD and risk factors that predict progression to clinically overt CVD, and that predict progression of subclinical disease itself, in a population-based sample of 6,800 ethnically diverse men and women. The cohort was recruited from six Field Centers and characterized with respect to coronary calcification using computed tomography, ventricular mass and function using magnetic resonance imaging, and other measures at baseline. Several subclinical disease measures were repeated in 3 subsequent examinations. Participants will be followed for identification and characterization of incident CVD events and interventions received.
