Objectives: We sought to determine if echocardiography enhances prediction of first age-
related cardiovascular events. Background: Whether echocardiographic assessment …

Previous studies have identified a number of echocardiographic variables that predict
cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality, but have not focused on a large elderly …

The Framingham study has shown by M-mode echocardiography that left ventricular
hypertrophy is a powerful, independent predictor for the development of coronary heart …

To quantify potential biases in the use of echocardiography in epidemiologic studies, we
assessed the relationship of sex, age, vital capacity, body fatness, and overt cardiovascular …

Background—Although> 80% of annual coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths occur in
adults aged> 65 years and the population is aging rapidly, CHD event fatality and its …
