| Research Abstract |
Plasma ET-1 level is a predictor of mortality in patients with several types of cancers. However, all previous mortality data have been derived from patients with existing pathological cardiovascular disease and malignancies. Accordingly, we examined whether the plasma ET-1 level would predict 10-year cardiovascular, cancer and all-cause deaths in a general population. This is the first report demonstrating that the plasma ET-1 level is a predictor of 10-year mortality in subjects without apparent cardiovascular disease or malignancies in the general population.
