Association of serum calcium and phosphorus with measures of left ventricular structure and function: The ARIC study

Background and aims Elevated serum calcium and phosphorus have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disorders. We evaluated whether abnormal calcium and high serum phosphorus are associated cross-sectionally with echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV) structure and function, as doing so may provide insight into the etiology of cardiac disorders. Methods and results Included in the analysis were 5213 Atherosclerosis...
