Abstract

ardiovascular disease, including stroke, is the leading cause of illness and death in the United States.There are an estimated 62 million people with cardiovascular disease and 50 million people with hypertension in this country.1 In 2000, approximately 946,000 deaths were attributable to cardiovascular disease, accounting for 39 percent of all deaths in the United States. 2 Epidemiologic studies and randomized clinical trials have provided compelling evidence that coronary heart disease is largely preventable.3 However, there is also reason to believe that there is a heritable component to the disease.In this review, I highlight what we know now about genetic factors in cardiovascular disease.As future genomic discoveries are translated to the care of patients with cardiovascular disease, it is likely that what we can do will change.c lessons learned from monogenic cardiovascular disorders

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
