Fig. 5. Association between CMR-derived and genetically predicted LVMI and incident ICD implant.

Fig. 5

Depicted are plots showing the relative hazard of incident implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implant as a function of increasing standardized CMR-derived LVM index (left), increasing standardized LVMI PRS in UK Biobank (middle) and increasing standardized LVMI PRS in Mass General Brigham (MGB, right). In each plot, the y-axis depicts the relative hazard of incident ICD compared to the hazard observed for individuals with an average LVMI (left) or average PRS value (middle and right), derived from Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age and sex (left), and adjusted for age, sex, and the first five principal components of genetic ancestry (middle and right). The relative hazard is plotted on the logarithmic scale. The functional form of the association was selected empirically using a penalized spline approach, in which the degrees of freedom for the penalized spline fit were chosen based on minimization of the corrected Akaike Information Criterion75. The number of events and individuals included in each analysis are listed above each plot.
