The study will evaluate the clinical utilization of skin Cholesterol (SC) for cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic individuals at low, intermediate and high risk based on Framingham global risk estimates.
Preliminary studies have suggested that SC is an easy to measure, noninvasive marker of cardiovascular risk. This study is intended to provide further data in support of broader clearance by the Food and Drug Administration for the use of SC as a tool to identify asymptomatic patients at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Currently, SC testing is cleared for use as part of risk assessment in subject suspected of having significant multi-vessel disease.
The current study data will be used to support the use of SC testing as part of cardiovascular risk assessment in subjects without suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).

| The primary analysis will test if SC is a predictor of elevated CIMT (i.e. carotid wall thickness above the 75% percentile expected for subject's age sex and race based on projections from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Secondarily, estimates of relative risk will allow the comparison of the power of SC as a predictor and traditional risk and new emerging risk factors(hsCRP, Apo B100 and Phospholipase A2). |
