Figure. Illustration of the relationship between subclinical CAVD and HF.
In this issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Zhu et. al uncover an important relationship between subclinical CAVD as measured by AVC and HF and probe into the potential mechanisms driving this association. The primary hypotheses generated are that HF risk increases with increasing AVC and that incident CHD may drive HF at moderate (300-799) AVC levels whereas AS and adverse cardiac remodeling may drive HF at high (≥ 800) levels of AVC.
