| Abstract |
This study aimed to examine whether a history of asthma from childhood is associated with left ventricular (LV) mass in adulthood. Asthma has been related to various cardiovascular risk factors affecting LV hypertrophy. The authors saw a need for a prospective study to analyze the relationship between a history of asthma from childhood and markers of LV mass among asymptomatic young adults. Prospective analyses were performed among 1,118 Bogalusa Heart Study participants (average age at follow-up 36.7 ± 5.1 years), with a baseline history of self-reported asthma collected since childhood (average age at baseline 26.8 ± 10.1 years). LV mass (g) was assessed using 2-dimensional guided M-mode echocardiography and was indexed for body height (m(2.7)) as LV mass index (LVMI; g/m(2.7)). A multivariate linear mixed model was fitted for the repeated measures. After an average of 10.4 ± 7.5 years of follow-up, participants with a history of asthma from childhood had a greater LV mass (167.6 vs. 156.9; p = 0.01) and LVMI (40.7 vs. 37.7; p < 0.01) with adjustment for age, sex, race, smoking status, antihypertensive medication, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure (SBP). The difference of LVMI between group with asthma and the group without asthma remained significant after additional adjustment for body mass index (39.0 vs. 37.1; p = 0.03) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (38.4 vs. 36.6; p = 0.04). In addition, the authors found significant interactions between SBP and asthma on LV mass and LVMI (p for interaction <0.01, respectively). The associations between asthma and LV measures appeared to be stronger among pre-hypertensive and hypertensive participants (SBP ≥130 mm Hg) compared with participants with normal SBP (<130 mm Hg) (regression coefficient: 39.5 vs. 2.3 for LV mass and 9.0 vs. 0.9 for LVMI). The findings of this study indicate that a history of asthma is associated with higher LVMI, and this association is stronger among participants with pre-hypertension and hypertension. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 33. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 April 2018.
All research outputs
#1,203,820
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from JACC: Heart Failure
#374
of 1,583 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,185
of 328,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JACC: Heart Failure
#9
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,583 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,359 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
