Circulating multimarker approach to identify patients with preclinical left ventricular remodelling and/or diastolic dysfunction.

Aims: Biomarkers reflecting myocardial fibrosis and inflammation have been individually associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction (DD). However, the added value of a fibrosis-inflammation multimarker approach in a populational setting is yet to be studied. We evaluated the value of a multimarker approach to detect LVH and DD in a large population-based cohort.
