Abbreviations: CV, cardiovascular; NA, not applicable; PCP, primary care practitioner.

a

Cardiac testing was defined as electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, or other cardiac imaging.

b

Participants with missing variables were excluded from the regression model.

c

Sex was not significant in univariate testing (P = .49) and therefore was excluded from the multivariable model.

d

NA with nonbinary covariate.

e

Diagnosis of hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes at baseline, modeled ordinally as 0, 1, and 2 or more conditions.

f

Based on median of 3 visits.
