Overlapping Genetic Background of Coronary Artery and Carotid/Femoral Atherosclerotic Calcification

Overlapping Genetic Background of Coronary Artery and Carotid/Femoral Atherosclerotic Calcification

Background and objectives: Multivessel atherosclerosis and its genetic background are under-investigated, although atherosclerosis is seldom local and still causes high mortality. Alternative methods to assess coronary calcification (CAC) might incorporate genetic links between different arteries’ a...
