Genetics of Cardiovascular Disease

Participants are being recruited at the inpatient department of the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology on a 'all-comers' basis. The enrolled participants will be divided into the main group (diagnosed with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)) and control (not diagnosed with ASCVD). The participants will have whole blood and serum collected at enrollment for further biobanking. A genome-wide association study will be carried out to determine the genetic determinants associated with atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, etc., including a search for pathogenic variants.
