Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a longstanding cardiovascular research study, that has provided insight about subclinical, or underlying, risk factors for cardiovascular disease. #Cardiology #PreventiveCardiology #MESA #HeartHealth #HeartDiseasePrevention #HopkinsHeart #JohnsHopkinsMedicine #ResearchSavesLives https://hopkinsmedicine.org/heart-vascular-institute/cardiology/ciccarone Watch this video to learn about how the study, supported by 6,814 adults without heart disease at enrollment, has helped researchers better understand factors, such as elevated levels of coronary artery calcium to genes and lifestyle risk factors, that have been linked to increased risks for cardiovascular disease. This has informed research to support earlier and more personalized cardiovascular disease risk predictions and treatment approaches. You will hear from the following MESA investigators: Wendy Post, M.D., M.S., Lou and Nancy Grasmick Professor of Cardiology, Director of Cardiovascular Research at Johns Hopkins Medicine Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., Professor of Medicine, Director of Women’s Cardiovascular Health and Associate Director of Preventive Cardiology at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Michael Blaha, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Cardiology and Epidemiology, Director of Clinical Research at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Learn more about MESA and about the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: https://mesa-nhlbi.org/
