Summary

This study looked at over 16,000 adults aged 45-70 with at least one risk factor (like high blood pressure or smoking) but no known heart disease. Researchers used ultrasound and urine tests to find hidden artery thickening and early kidney problems. The goal is to learn what factors predict these hidden conditions and whether early detection can reduce future heart attacks and deaths.
