* History of diabetes, severe lung disease, renal disease (creatinine \> 1.8 mg/dL or CrCl ≤ 50 mL/min), or hepatic disease (AST and ALT \> 3 times upper normal limits)
* Abnormal baseline echocardiogram or cardiac MRI (detection of congenital heart disease; ischemic heart disease; moderate or severe valvular heart disease; cardiomyopathy; EF \< 55%)
* Previously known or diagnosed heart disease (e.g. congenital; valvular; coronary artery disease; history of myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome; cardiomyopathy, including infiltrative, hypertensive, hypertrophic, dilated, constrictive pericarditis, or other cardiomyopathy)
* Left ventricular dysfunction (EF \< 55%)
* Prior non-cardiac illness with an estimated life expectancy \< 4 years
* Known active infection with HIV
* Allergy or contraindication to MRI testing, including claustrophobia, metallic parts in body the prohibiting MRI, prior gadolinium contrast reaction, or uncontrolled moderate hypertension (sitting blood pressure \>160/95 mm Hg with measurements recorded on at least 2 occasions).
