Risk of cardiovascular events by electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) status

ECG-LVH status	Participants/ events (n)	Person- years	Event rate (95% CI) per 10000 person-years	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
				HR (95% CI)	p-value	HR (95% CI)	p-value	HR (95% CI)	p-value
True Negative	4026/267	30809	8.67 (7.69, 9.77)	Reference	--	Reference		Reference	--
True positive	111/18	749	24.04 (15.14, 38.15)	2.79 (1.73, 4.49)	<0.001	2.58 (1.54, 4.33)	<0.001	1.77 (1.03, 3.04)	0.038

Left ventricular hypertrophy by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-LVH) was used as the gold standard

Model 1: Unadjusted

Model 2 adjusted for socio-demographic characteristics [age, sex, race and socioeconomic status]

Model 3 adjusted for model 1 plus clinical and anthropometric variables [body mass index, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure lowering drugs, diabetes, total cholesterol, lipid lowering drugs and smoking status]
