Abstract 09: Trajectories of Insulin Resistance, Incident Heart Failure and All-Cause Death in Nondiabetics: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Abstract:Introduction:
Previous studies have suggested an association between insulin resistance (IR) trajectories and adverse changes in cardiac structure and function in nondiabetic populations. We studied the associations between IR trajectories and incident heart failure (HF) and all-cause death in nondiabetic participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. We hypothesized that long-term moderate and high IR levels would increase the risk of incident HF and all-cause death.
