Summary

This study screened over 16,600 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 simple blood and urine tests to find hidden signs of atherosclerosis, pre-diabetes, and kidney disease. The goal is to learn what factors contribute to these hidden conditions and whether early detection can reduce future heart attacks and deaths.
