Consumption of animal and plant foods and risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: the Bogalusa Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) phenotype that is reversible. Identifying dietary predictors associated with LVDD in diverse populations may help broadly improve HFpEF primary prevention.

Methods and results

This longitudinal analysis included 456 individuals of the Bogalusa Heart Study (27% Black, 63% women, baseline age = 36.1 ± 4.4 years). Diet was measured at baseline through food frequency questionnaires. LVDD was defined at follow-up (median = 12.9 years) through echocardiographic measurement of the E/A ratio, E/e' ratio, isovolumic relaxation time, and deceleration time. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression estimated the risk of LVDD according to dietary predictor, adjusting fo
