Why the study?
Are elevated concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids associated with an increased familial risk of cardiovascular disease?
Are elevated concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids associated with an increased familial risk of cardiovascular disease?
Elevated nonesterified fatty acid concentrations in nondiabetic subjects are associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in their parents, suggesting a familial and potentially pathogenic link to cardiovascular disease.

NEFA elevation in nondiabetics was associated with higher parental MI/stroke prevalence; leaves open a familial link pending prospective confirmation.
