Hematocrit and left ventricular mass: the Framingham Heart study.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between hematocrit (Hct) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and LV hypertrophy (LVH) in subjects without known hypertension or cardiovascular disease in the Framingham Heart study. BACKGROUND Anemia may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the general population. One potential explanation for this...
متن کاملAssociation of leukocyte telomere length with echocardiographic left ventricular mass: the Framingham heart study.
BACKGROUND Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) decreases over the adult life course owing to the cumulative burden of oxidative stress, inflammation, and exposure to vascular risk factors. Left ventricular (LV) mass is a biomarker of long-standing exposure to cardiovascular disease risk factors. We hypothesized that LTL is related inversely to LV mass. METHODS AND RESULTS We related LTL (measured...
متن کاملFamilial aggregation of left ventricular geometry and association with parental heart failure: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Data regarding the familial aggregation of left ventricular (LV) geometry and its relations to parental heart failure (HF) are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated concordance of LV geometry within 1093 nuclear families in 5758 participants of the original (parents) (n=2351) and offspring (n=3407) cohorts of the Framingham Heart Study undergoing routine echocardiography in mid...
متن کاملSingle-gene mutations and increased left ventricular wall thickness in the community: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Mutations in sarcomere protein, PRKAG2, LAMP2, alpha-galactosidase A (GLA), and several mitochondrial genes can cause rare familial cardiomyopathies, but their contribution to increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) in the community is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 1862 unrelated participants (52% women; age, 59+/-9 years) from the community-based Framingham Hear...
متن کاملPericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and measures of left ventricular structure and function: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Pericardial fat has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. Whether the associations of pericardial fat and measures of cardiac structure and function are independent of the systemic effects of obesity and visceral adiposity has not been fully explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study (n=997; 54.4% women) under...
