The role of cardiac remodeling associated with renal function in mediating cardiovascular event outcomes.

ABSTRACT: The potential impact of renal function-related cardiovascular remodeling on associated cardiovascular risk has not been previously investigated. Hence, we conducted multiple mediation analyses in the UK Biobank study to evaluate this association. Using multiple Cox models, we found lower renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C, eGFR-cysC) was independently related to increased risks of various cardiovascular events and mortalities. Multivariable linear regression revealed a progressive relationship between declining eGFR-cysC and adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and impaired systolic function. In Cox models, larger LV volume, mass, as well as decreased systolic function, were significantly correlated with adverse events, particularly in heart failur
