The association between the body height and cardiovascular diseases: a retrospective analysis of 657,310 outpatients in Germany
ConclusionWe present the first data from a large cohort of outpatients in Germany providing strong evidence for an association between the body height and common CVD. These data should stimulate a discussion as to how far the body height should be implemented as a parameter in stratification tools to assess CVD risk in order to further reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the future.
