Classification of diastolic measures in the overall ARIC study sample free of prevalent HF using ARIC-based reference limits compared to guideline-based cutpoints. Panel A: Prevalence of abnormal diastolic measures (TDI e’, E/e’, LAVi) by ARIC-based reference limits and guideline-based cutpoints in the overall study sample. Panel B: Prevalence of participant categories based on number of abnormal diastolic measures (TDI e’, E/e’, LAVi) and associated rates of incident HF hospitalization or death using either ARIC-based reference limits or guideline-based cutpoints.
