Key result
ECG-assessed LVH is linked to steeper cognitive decline independent of cardiovascular risk.
Why the study?
Does left ventricular hypertrophy assessed by electrocardiogram associate with steeper cognitive decline in older subjects?
Does left ventricular hypertrophy assessed by electrocardiogram associate with steeper cognitive decline in older subjects?
Subclinical cardiac structural changes, specifically LVH assessed by ECG, are independently associated with steeper cognitive decline in older adults.
ECG LVH should not yet guide cognitive risk management; supports consensus on cardiovascular-cognitive links in aging.
LVH assessed by electrocardiogram associates with steeper decline in cognitive function of older subjects independent of cardiovascular risk factors and co-morbidities. This study provides further evidence on the link between subclinical cardiac structural changes and cognitive decline in older subjects.
