This method is ideal for testing new treatments, since the rate of growth of plaque in 3 dimensions is more than 2.5 times faster than the growth in thickness, and the measurements are non-invasive. We can help groups looking for new genes for atherosclerosis by collaborating, and we can help the manufacturers of new treatments for atherosclerosis measure the effect of their treatments. If you are interested in volunteering for research as a patient with premature atherosclerosis or family member, or if you are interested in more information about clinical research with our group, click here . It will not be easy to find new causes and treatments for atherosclerosis. We need all the help we can get.
