“…Nevertheless, the findings in our investigation and in the referenced studies need to be applied with caution in real-life situations, as the study populations were asymptomatic (NYHA I). It is not yet clear whether clinical heart failure will develop in the future in those with abnormal strain values, even though it is known that subclinical left ventricular dysfunction can lead to heart failure found during further follow-up 24,45,46. Therefore, earlier detection in subclinical stages might open the window of opportunity for a positive medical impact.…”

“…This substudy includes solitary and combined analyses of echocardiography, electrocardiograms, and blood biomarkers. 18 The echocardiographic measurements serve as primary study outcome and as reference for the biomarker and ECG studies. Specific aims of the echocardiography study are to evaluate the prevalence and associated (treatment and lifestyle related) risk factors of subclinical cardiac dysfunction in CCS compared with sibling controls, and with identify more sensitive echocardiographic markers of subclinical cardiac dysfunction.…”
