Table 2. Age- and sex-adjusted associations between CVH score and echocardiographic measurements.

Echocardiographic Measurement Beta Coefficient (95% CI) p-value
LV mass, gm -3.88 (-4.59, -3.17) <0.0001
LV wall thickness, mm -0.27 (-0.31, -0.23) <0.0001
LV diastolic dimension, mm -0.15 (-0.23, -0.06) 0.001
Left atrial dimension, mm -0.40 (-0.49, -0.30) <0.0001
Fractional shortening, % 0.00 (0.00, 0.00) 0.56
Odds Ratio (95% CI) p-value
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction 0.94 (0.86, 1.03) 0.16
Left ventricular hypertrophy 0.96 (0.92-1.00) 0.07

Beta coefficient values represent the mean change in echocardiographic measurement per 1-pointhigher CVH score.

Odds ratios represent the odds of having the echocardiographic trait for each 1-point higher CVH score versus not having the trait..
