Özet

Background: There is controversy regarding the role of family history (FH) of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) as an independent risk factor for CAD. Herein, we aimed to assess the role of FH of premature CAD in prediction of coronary atherosclerosis shown by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography.
