The cordelia study involving 962,32 participants aims to decode heart diseases risk. The study was made to understand why few people are more likely to get heart attack and how medicine can change it. Researcher’s studied data on 35 spanish people to study why few people are more vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases as compare to others.
Arteriosclerosis is a common term to define this which can cause plaque formation, blood clot formation and can lead to heart attack. Additionally, all participants underwent baseline clinical examinations, with follow-up data collected over time primarily for outcome ascertainment rather than repeated full risk factor measurement for all participants. These examinations include blood test ，smoking , sleeping and exercise schedule and more.
The study aims to carry out the most extensive cardiovascular disease (CVD)-centric genome-wide association study.
The data was collected from 35 independent spanish total number were 196,362 from age 18-84 . Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally.
The data shows new factors can also lead to cardiovascular problems which were not part of past researches .
Benefits of this Research:
1 This study aims to generate polygenic risk scores for a population to predict their 10 years probability of contracting AVCDS. 2 The study demonstrates the power of large scale measures to advance our understanding about cardiovascular diseases. The data includes their serum samples , DNA samples and genotype data. This study lead to more effective prevention measures and can help in finding more precise strageties .
This study is advancement in understanding of CVD risk factors and also it’s a precise way of medicine study across Southern Europe.
Key researchers include:
A.Hernaez , A camps Vilaro , S polo Alonso They studied methodology and publish findings in the European journal of Epidermolgy . The team is also analyzing genetic , environmental and also DNA samples including genotype data. AVCDS : The study focuses on AVCDS which are age associated chronic diseases cause by cholesterol, fats and other insoluble substances that coat the lining of artery walls. They are identifying subgroups of population which will benefit their treatments and life style.
Conclusion: This is an advancement in medicine’s study of CVD risk factors and also it will help in treatments because the study seeks to understand why few people are more vulnerable to heart diseases than others. The end..
