Abstract
⺠We aimed to evaluate the adolescents who are at high risk of premature atherosclerosis. ⺠Thirty-three subjects who have a father with a history of obstructive coronary artery disease before the age 40 and 30 controls were enrolled to the study. ⺠Carotid intima-media thickness and pulse wave velocity values were higher in the risky group, but these differences were not statistically significant. ⺠Present methods failed to show expected subclinical atherosclerosis in risky adolescents.
