Association of cystatin C with left ventricular structure and function: the Dallas Heart Study
PC Patel, CR Ayers, SA Murphy, R Peshock… - Circulation: Heart …, 2009 - Am Heart Assoc
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 65 years) who had measurements of cystatin C and
cardiac MRI. The associations of cystatin C with left ventricular (LV) mass, LV end-systolic …
