Distinct Heritable Patterns of Angiographic Coronary Artery Disease in Families With Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Distinct morphological characteristics associated with CAD show different degrees of heritability. Notably, the most hazardous localizations, like left main or proximal disease, display a high heritability. In contrast, some features of coronary morphology, such as distal disease, do not appear to be markedly influenced by heritable factors.
