Model 1 Adjusted for age, race and sex.
Model 2. 95% CI is shown in parentheses. Adjusted for age, race, sex, history of heart disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, antihypertensive medication use, current smoking, systolic blood pressure, LVH, lipid lowering medication use and regular aspirin use.
p value ≤0.10
p value ≤0.05
Model 2 analysis was only performed if the p value for model 1 was <0.10.
