The effect of gene polymorphisms, lipid peroxidation, socio-economic and psychological variables on the same ultrasonographic end points will be also assessed. In addition, the study will: (a)standardize at EU level an ultrasound scan and reading protocol to be used in future clinical trials; (b)compare the genetic and ultrasonic characteristics of patients from north and south Europe; (c) assess the impact of an early detection of atherosclerotic disease on the patients quality of life and (d) its economic consequences. Data will be analysed with conventional statistic vs. an innovative approach based on artificial neural networks. Source : cordis
