Model 1=adjusted for age, smoking status, physical activity, heavy drinking, social class, body mass index, left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive drugs, diabetes, stroke and atrial fibrillation.
Model 2=model 1+ C-reactive protein.
Model 3=model 2+ N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
Model 4=model 2+ cardiac troponin T (cTnT).
Model 5=model 2+NT-proBNP+cTnT.
*Moderate and severe group were combined due to small numbers.
