Functional and prognostic impacts of serum albumin with thoracic arterial calcification among asymptomatic individuals.

We observed a significant trend toward maladaptive cardiac remodeling and more impaired systolic/diastolic mechanics across 4 SA/TAC category, including greater LVM index, higher prevalent LVH, lower TDI-s’/TDI-e’, higher E/e’ (all p < 0.001) (Supplementary Table 1), and higher prevalent components of diastolic dysfunction using 2016 ASE criteria across the four SA/TAC groups (Fig. 1 ).
