Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess whether elevated galectin-3 and BNP could identify apparently healthy elderly subjects that are prone to develop diastolic dysfunction compared to those with low levels, in a case-control study design. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To evaluate if a certain biomarker threshold can be determined to identify subjects at risk to develop diastolic dysfunction 2. To evaluate differences whether or not galectin-3 or BNP are solely elevated to detect diastolic dysfunction 3. To evaluate the influence of genetic variance on the development of diastolic dysfunction 4. To evaluated if vascular stiffness (EndoPat) correlates with cardiac stiffness (diastolic dysfunction) | — |
