Risk estimation of incident cardiovascular (CV) events in Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort (n=29 129) associated with history of orthostatic hypotension (OH)-related or unexplained syncope-related hospitalisation during follow-up. Multivariable-adjusted (age, sex, BMI, systolic BP, antihypertensive treatment, diabetes and current smoking) Cox regression model was applied by entering incident hospitalisation for OH or syncope prior to first-ever incident CV event (ie, coronary event, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and aortic valve stenosis) as an independent variable after exclusion of prevalent CV disease. Results are presented as adjusted HRs with 95% CIs. BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure.
