Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study and Heinz Nixdorf
Multigenerational Study

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death in Germany. Acute myocardial infarction requires special attention because it often cannot be treated appropriately due to its unpredictability and thus often leads to death. This makes it all the more important to intervene preventively and reduce the risk of infarction in advance. The condition for this is an improvement in early detection in people who are actually at high risk. The Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study was launched more than 20 years ago to prove that modern imaging methods allow better prediction of heart attack risk than conventional methods based on risk factors (Schmermund et al. Assessment of clinically silent atherosclerotic disease and established and novel risk factors for predicting myocardial infarction and cardiac death in healthy middle-aged subjects: rationale and design of the Heinz Nixdorf RECALL Study. Risk Factors, Evaluation of Coronary Calcium and Lifestyle. American heart journal. 2002;144(2):212-8). In 2000, random samples of people aged 45 to 74 were drawn from the population registration offices of the cities of Bochum, Essen and Mülheim. From 2000 to 2003 (HNR-T0), a total of 4814 participants (recruitment rate 55.8%) were examined in the specially established „Heinz Nixdorf Study Center“ (Stang et al. Baseline recruitment and analyses of nonresponse of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study: identifiability of phone numbers as the major determinant of response. European journal of epidemiology. 2005;20(6):489-96). In addition to interview and questionnaires as well as a series of medical examinations, a large number of biosamples were collected. Contact with the subjects is maintained on an ongoing basis, two follow-up examinations, 5 and 10 years after baseline (HNR-T1 and HNR-T2), have already taken place and questionnaires on current health are sent to the participants annually.

The successful work in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study motivated us to devote ourselves more intensively to the question of heredity and genetics of coronary vascular calcification and thus atherosclerosis. This led to the idea of continuing the study in the form of the Heinz Nixdorf Multigenerational Study (MGS), which started in 2013 (MGS-T0). In this study, 2898 spouses and children of the first generation of the test subjects were and are being examined according to the proven study protocol of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study in order to be able to research the development of heart disease in families. Currently, the first follow-up examination (MGS-T1) is taking place and questionnaires on current health are sent to the participants annually.
