This is a long-term research study that follows older adults to learn how early stages of heart problems develop over time. Researchers will collect information about your heart health through questionnaires, physical exams, blood tests, and heart imaging. The goal is to understand who is at risk and how to catch heart problems early, before they become serious.
Heart failure is a serious condition with high rates of hospitalization and death, but doctors don't fully understand how it develops in its early stages or which patients will progress to more severe disease. This study aims to fill that gap so doctors can identify at-risk patients earlier and prevent serious complications.

You would visit the community clinic at the start of the study and then every 2 years for follow-up visits lasting several hours. At each visit, you'll answer health questions, have a physical exam, give blood and urine samples, and have heart imaging tests like an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart). Researchers will also contact you by phone if they find any health concerns and will track your medical care over time.
