Covariates in the base model 1a are the Pooled Cohort risk equations (age, gender, race, smoking (yes/no), diabetes (yes/no), systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol), race, and a race*score interaction term.

NRI categorized as <10%, 10–20% and >20%

Abbreviations: NRI = Net Reclassification Index, IDI = Integrated Discrimination Index, HR = Hazard Ratio, CI = Confidence Interval, LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy
