Cystatin C, left ventricular hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction: data from the Heart and Soul Study.
J Card Fail. 2006; (8): 601-7
Impaired kidney function, as measured by serum cystatin C, is associated with risk of incident heart failure. Whether cystatin C is associated with preclinical cardiac structural abnormalities is unknown. We evaluate whether cystatin C is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, and systolic dysfunction among 818 outpatients with coronary artery disease who were free of clinical heart failure.
