Association of cystatin C with left ventricular structure and function: the Dallas Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Cystatin C, a novel marker of renal function, has been associated with heart failure and cardiovascular mortality in older individuals. We tested the hypothesis that cystatin C is associated with preclinical cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in a younger population-based sample. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included participants in the Dallas Heart Study (ages 30 to ...
متن کاملSerum cystatin C, renal filtration function, and left ventricular remodeling.
It is now accepted that there is a link between renal dysfunction and heart disease, although physiological mechanisms remain unclear. The incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease are increasing, and it is estimated that 26 million Americans now have chronic kidney disease.1 From a public health standpoint, HF and chronic kidney disease are similar in that the underlying pathology is ...
متن کاملAssociation between Cystatin C and MRI Measures of Left Ventricular Structure and Function: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Introduction. Reduced kidney function, approximated by elevated cystatin C, is associated with diastolic dysfunction, heart failure, and cardiovascular mortality; however, the precise mechanism(s) that account for these relationships remains unclear. Understanding the relationship between cystatin C and subclinical left ventricular (LV) remodeling, across ethnically diverse populations, may hel...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملAssociation of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus With Left Ventricular Structure and Function: The CARDIA Study
OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) predicts incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, mechanisms linking GDM to CVD beyond intervening incident diabetes are not well understood. We examined the relation of GDM with echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) structure and function, which are important predictors of future CVD risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We stu...
