Inherited Thoracic Aortic Disease: New Insights and Translational Targets.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Age-adjusted stroke incidence has decreased over the past 50 years, likely as a result of changes in the prevalence and impact of various stroke risk factors. An updated version of the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP) might better predict current risks in the FHS (Framingham Heart Study) and other cohor...
