Personal Genomics for Preventive Cardiology
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01406808
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to see if providing information to a person on their inherited
(genetic) risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) helps to motivate that person to change their
diet, lifestyle or medication regimen to alter their risk.
Official Title
A Pilot Randomized Trial of Personal Genomics for Preventive Cardiology

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults age > 18
- Patient seeking cardiovascular risk evaluation
- At intermediate (6-20%) or high risk (> 20%) over 10 years of CAD as defined by
Framingham 10 year risk score AND/OR at > 20% risk of CAD over 30 years using the
Framingham 30 year risk calculator
- The genetic risk factors have been evaluated predominantly in white/European subjects.
However, there is considerable overlap in the genetic architecture of South Asians and
Hispanic/Latino populations. Therefore, we will limit our initial studies to these
three race/ethnicity groups.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, PCI, or
CABG
- Already on lipid lowering therapy
- Anticipated survival <1 year (e.g. metastatic cancer)
- Serious conditions that would limit ability to adhere to recommendations (inability to
take statins, exercise)
- Already had genetic testing
- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
Intervention(s):
behavioral: genetic risk score for coronary risk factors
