Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

BAC = 0 Group

BAC >0 Group

Interventions

Cardiac CT Scan

A non-contrast Cardiac CT Scan is a routine exam and a non-invasive scan to look for coronary artery calcium.

Bloodwork

Blood will be drawn at a Northwell Lab. Participants will need to fast before the collection. Cholesterol levels, blood sugar (hemoglobin A1C), and markers for inflammation and kidney function will be analyzed.
