Abstract: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) an ongoing observational cohort study that is identifying and quantifying factors associated with the presence and progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD)-- that is, atherosclerosis and other forms of CVD that have not produced signs and symptoms. The findings provide important information on subclinical CVD and its progression to clinical CVD in individuals of different ethnic backgrounds and provide information for studies on new interventions to prevent CVD. The aspects of MESA that concern direct participant evaluation received a clinical exemption from OMB clearance (CE-99-11-08) in April 2000. Extension of OMB clearance is being sought for the contact of physicians and selected participant proxies to obtain information about clinical CVD events that study participants experience during the follow-up period.
