Abstract
methods: A total of 1055 adults (mean age 63±13, 58.8% men) without diabetes mellitus, systolic dysfunction or other heart disease underwent a thorough physical examination including tissue Doppler echocardiography. We designated peak early mitral annular velocity (e’) of less than 5.0 to indicate abnormal LV myocardial relaxation (LVMR). We performed single and multiple logistic regression analyses of e’ and cardiovascular risk factors, including MetS factors and indicators of major organ dysfunction and evaluated results with regard to three age groups: young (≤ 49 yrs), middle-aged (50-69 yrs) and elderly (≥ 70 yrs) for both men and women.
