Association of Left Ventricular Systolic Function With Incident Heart Failure in Late Life.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Limited data exist regarding the association of subtle subclinical systolic dysfunction and incident heart failure (HF) in late life.

Objective

To assess the independent associations of subclinical impairments in systolic performance with incident HF in late life.

Design, setting, and participants

This study was a time-to-event analysis of participants without heart failure in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, a prospective, community-based cohort study, who underwent protocol echocardiography at the fifth study visit (January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013). Findings were validated independently in participants in the Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS). Data analysis was performed from June 1, 2018, to February 28, 2020.
