Baseline characteristics are for patients included in the incident myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation analyses; individuals with prevalent MI, CHF, and AF have been excluded from each analysis, respectively. CAD, coronary artery disease; CHF, congestive heart failure; CKD, chronic kidney disease; DL, dyslipidemia; DM, diabetes; OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; SD, standard deviation; Smoking, current cigarette smoking; VHD, valvular heart disease.
Dichotomous variables (using Chi2 Test) and continuous variables (using Student’s t-test) were compared within each analysis – P<0.0001 for all comparisons, except in CHF analysis: CAD, P=0.264, VHD, P=0.007; Obese, P=0.063; OSA, P=0.004
Values are numbers (percentages) unless otherwise indicated.
