BMI: body mass index; CV: cardiovascular; DVT: deep venous thrombosis; ACEI: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB: angiotensin II receptor blocker;
CV risk factors include obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes;
CV diseases include coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation/flutter, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease; P value: compared between patients with and with no HF.
