This centre will carry out the standardized and quality controlled phenotyping of probands and patients. This includes algorithms for standardized data export and analysis. Methods for phenotyping include: standardized interviews and questionnaires, anthropometry, digital ECG, echocardiography, resting and 24 h blood pressure measurement, bodyplethysmography, spiroergometry, IMT measurements, peripheral endothelial function (FMD, EndoPAT), ankle-brachial-index measurements, pulse wave measurements (Vascular Explorer). Furthermore, training facilities will be established for conductiong cardiovascular prevention studies with life-style intervention programmes e.g. exercise.
