In addition to genetics, electronic patient records, national socioeconomic and health registries extensively characterise each patient in CHB-CVDC and provides a promising framework for improved understanding of risk and protective variants. We aim to include other measurable biomarkers for example, proteins in CHB-CVDC making it a platform for multiomics cardiovascular studies.
