The Jackson Heart Study of the Future

摘要

The 10th Anniversary Jackson Heart Study (JHS) Scientific Conference was a fertile time of intense discussion, exchange of ideas and creative flights of scientific thought. During a concentrated 48-hour period, numerous recommendations on research topics, study design enhancements and ancillary studies using the expansive JHS database were advanced, deepening and broadening the thinking of JHS investigators and NIH program staff. The JHS 2010 Scientific Conference offered renewed vision and guidance for future cardiovascular disease research to include novel phenotype characterization, imaging techniques, genomics, epigeno-nomics and more.
