We aimed to use myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and global longitudinal strain (GLS), markers of subclinical microvascular and myocardial dysfunction, to refine hypertensive HF risk assessment. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients undergoing symptom-prompted stress cardiac positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiogram within 90 days without reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ( less then 40%) or flow-limiting coronary artery disease (summed stress score ≥ 3) were included. Global MFR was quantified by PET, and echocardiograms were retrospectively analysed for cardiac structure and function. Patients were followed over a median 8.75 (Q1-3 4.56-10.04) years for HF hospitalization and a composite of death, HF hospitalization, MI, or stroke. Of 194 patients, 155 had adaptive LV remodelling while 39 had maladaptive remodelournals.permissions@oup.com.AIMS In epidemiologic cohorts initiated >30 years ago, inflammatory biomarkers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were shown to independently predict future cardiovascular events with a magnitude of effect comparable to that of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC). Whether aggressive contemporary therapy for atherosclerosis has altered these relationships is unknown yet has major implications for future drug development. METHODS AND RESULTS Interleukin-6, hsCRP, and LDLC were measured at baseline in up to 4168 North American patients enrolled in the contemporary Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial with prior myocardial infarction or multivessel coronary disease who additionally had diabetes or metabolic syndrome and were followed for a period of up to 5 years for incident major recurrent cardiovascular events and all-cause
