动脉粥样硬化(MESA)http://mesa-nhlbi.org/external免责声明的多种族研究是一项研究，在6,800名不同种族的男性和女性的人口样本中，调查亚临床心血管疾病的患病率、相关性和进展，以及预测进展为临床显性心血管疾病的危险因素和亚临床疾病本身的进展。该队列是从6个野战中心招募的，通过计算机断层扫描检测冠状动脉钙化，使用磁共振成像检测心脏质量和功能，以及基线下的其他测量方法。在随后的3次检查中，重复了几项亚临床疾病措施。将对参与者进行跟踪，以确定和描述事件、心血管事件和收到的干预措施。

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.
