Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Study at
Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles

The Division of Endocrinology at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is currently recruiting subjects for a research study to determine if there is a risk for heart disease in individuals with classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), both salt wasting and simple virilizing forms, in individuals who are at least 9 years old. We are also recruiting healthy siblings of individuals with CAH, and non-siblings, for comparison. The study will involve up to 3 visits, and individuals will be offered $10 per visit for participating. If you have classic CAH, or are a sibling of someone with CAH, and are interested in participating in this study to help us find out more about heart disease in children with CAH, please contact: Mimi Kim, MD at 323.361.1358 or mskim@chla.usc.edu.
