EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION

这项研究利用电子束CT测量的量 冠状动脉钙化，测量冠心病危险因素，并存储 超过600名没有症状的成年人身上涂上了巴菲的衣服，新的数据将是 收集了他们500个兄弟姐妹的数据。了解遗传 无症状性动脉粥样硬化的易感性以 CAC将增加我们对动脉粥样硬化的了解，并及早改善 确定将从现有或新的个人中受益最大的个人 干预措施。

This study takes advantage of electron beam CT measures of quantity of coronary artery calcification, measured CAD risk factors, and stored buffy coats on over 600 asymptomatic adults, and new data to be collected on 500 of their siblings. Understanding genetic susceptibility to asymptomatic atherosclerosis measured by quantity of CAC will increase our understanding of atherosclerosis and improve early identification of individuals who will benefit most from existing or new interventions.
