Genetic Determinants of Peripheral Arterial Disease
The role of genetics, (which are traits that you inherit, such as your eye color or hair color), in determining whether patients with coronary artery disease also have circulation problems in the legs needs to be evaluated. The purpose of this research study is to identify genetic factors in peripheral arterial disease, study the interaction between environmental and genetic factors in the causes and worsening of the disease, and identify factors that cause differences in the severity of the vascular disease in different parts of the body. This study will involve evaluating 2,000 patients, 1,000 at Mount Sinai Medical Center and 1,000 at Stanford University over the course of five years. This study involves three questionnaires, measuring blood pressures in the arms and legs and the collection of blood samples for clotting factors and genetic analysis. It takes approximately 2 hours to complete this study.
