Why the study?
Is right ventricular hypertrophy associated with the risk of heart failure or death in a multiethnic population free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline?
Is right ventricular hypertrophy associated with the risk of heart failure or death in a multiethnic population free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline?
Right ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for incident heart failure and death in individuals without baseline cardiovascular disease.
May aid risk stratification in asymptomatic adults; leaves open incremental value beyond standard predictors.
RV hypertrophy was associated with the risk of heart failure or death in a multiethnic population free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline.
