Left ventricular remodeling and incident cardiac events in MESA. The risk of incident cardiovascular disease is greater for those individuals who develop the concentric remodeling at a younger compared with older age (black arrows, a). Higher LV mass (hypertrophy) is associated with incident heart failure b. Additional LV mass and log NT-pro BNP produces the largest increased in c-statistic and improves the NRI beyond traditional risk factors c. Figures prepared based on data from Cheng et al. [5], Bluemke et al. [21], and Chahal et al. [22]. Abbreviations as in Fig. 1
