Left ventricular mass predicts heart failure not related to previous myocardial infarction: the Cardiovascular Health Study

Structured PICO

Does left ventricular hypertrophy predict incident heart failure not attributable to myocardial infarction?

Population

Participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study

Intervention

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) / Left ventricular mass

Outcome

Incident heart failure (HF) not attributable to myocardial infarction (MI)hard clinical

The study aims to determine if left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent predictor of incident heart failure not related to previous myocardial infarction.

Abstract

AimsThe relationship of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to incident heart failure (HF) not attributable to myocardial infarction (MI) has not been defined. We assessed whether LVH is an independent predictor of MI-independent HF.
