All hazard ratios correspond to ∼1 SD decrement in the respective RV measure (4 g for mass, 20 cc for volumes, 6% in RVEF).

Adjusted model includes age, race/ethnicity, education, body mass index, waist size, hip size, smoking status, diastolic blood pressure, hypertension, creatinine, IL-6, FEV1, FVC, cotinine, percent emphysema, and CT scanner type.
