Aneurysms in Relatives of Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage,Frequency and Risk Factors Neurol 53:982-988, Raaymakers,T.W.M.&the MARS Study Group, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract First-degree relatives of index patients with sporadic subarachnoid hemorrhage have a 4.0% chance of intracranial aneurysms. Being a sibling of the index patient is the most important risk factor. Risk factors for general atherosclerosis (hy pertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, high levels of blood triglycerides, lipoprotein a, and apoprotein A1) and use of alcohol do not increase the risk of intracranial aneurysms significantly in these relatives.
