Model 1 = adjustment for BMI plus age, history of myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, current smoking, blood pressure stage (systolic blood pressure <140 and diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg; systolic blood pressure 140 to 159 or diastolic blood pressure 90 to 99 mm Hg; systolic blood pressure ≥160 or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg, or use of antihypertensive therapy), and serum creatinine,

Model 2 = Model 1 + adjustment for echo left atrial size, echo left ventricular mass, and echo left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
