Key result
Multicenter cohort study details design linking echocardiographic structure and function to heart failure risk.
Why the study?
Limited normative and prognostic data exist regarding cardiac structure, diastolic function, and novel systolic deformation measures in older community-dwelling adults, including women and African Americans who bear a large HF burden.

This paper outlines the rationale and design of a multicenter echocardiographic study to assess cardiac structure, function, and heart failure risk in a biracial cohort of older adults.
Heart failure (HF) is an important public health concern particularly among persons over 65 years of age. Women and African Americans are critically understudied populations that carry a sizeable portion of the HF burden. Limited normative and prognostic data exist regarding measures of cardiac structure, diastolic function, and novel measures of systolic deformation in older adults living in the community.

Cheng et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Heart failure. Echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function was evaluated. This paper describes the rationale and design of a multicenter cohort study to assess the relationship between echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function and heart failure risk.
