Defining a Contemporary Ischemic Heart Disease Genetic Risk Profile Using Historical Data. Circulation. Cardiovascular genetics. 2016 Dec;9(9). 521-530. NIHMSID: NIHMS825921.
Abstract
Continued reductions in morbidity and mortality attributable to ischemic heart disease (IHD) require an understanding of the changing epidemiology of this disease. We hypothesized that we could use genetic correlations, which quantify the shared genetic architectures of phenotype pairs and extant risk factors from a historical prospective study to define the risk profile of a contemporary IHD phenotype.
