Types of cardiovascular test
Figure 3 shows the types of cardiovascular test undertaken according to
age of participants at follow-up. Blood pressure (either peripheral or
central) was assessed in eighteen studies, echocardiography in eight
studies, heart rate in five studies, electrocardiogram (ECG) in three
studies and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in one study.
Several studies assessed more than one outcome measure and/or determined
outcome measures at more than one time point.
