Two inherited risk markers linked to heart disease in relatives

Close relatives had an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.14 for heart disease when an initial family member had high levels of both markers compared with low levels.Close relatives had an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.14 for heart disease when an initial family member had high levels of both markers compared with low levels.
