Dallas Heart Study 2: Return Clinic Visit for the Dallas Heart Study Cohort

Completed

Conditions studied: Atherosclerosis, Congestive Heart Failure, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome X, Myocardial Infarction

In brief

The Dallas Heart Study (DHS-1) is a large, multi-ethnic, population-based epidemiological study designed to identify determinants of atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) in a representative United States (US) urban environment. This study completed enrollment in 2003. Our objective is to pinpoint factors contributing to progression: 1. from health to ASHD risk; 2. from ASHD risk to subclinical ASHD; and 3. from subclinical to clinical ASHD. Identification of the critical factors in these transitions will enable targeted implementation of appropriate therapy to interdict before clinical ASHD develops.
