Abstract

This is the first study demonstrating that low-flow state (LFS) has a significant impact on mortality in multiethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA) participants with no valvular disease. The study may have a clinical implication since LFS is commonly present in multiethnic population. The current study provides new information on clinical characteristics and myocardial performance of LFS suggesting that further prospective studies to determine whether targeting modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome would have any favorable impact on LFS.
