Freedom from New Diagnoses of Heart Failure in Statin-Treated Patients with High Cardiovascular Risk and Elevated or High Triglycerides vs Comparators (Kaplan-Meier Analysis)

Notes: Values represent probability of freedom from new diagnoses of heart failure (number of patients at risk). New diagnosis of HF required diagnosis in the follow-up period without prior evidence of HF. Clustered P-values were calculated using Cox proportional hazard model with cohort as independent variable. aElevated TG ≥150 mg/dL and comparator with TG <150 mg/dL and HDL-C >40 mg/dL. bHigh TG 200–499 mg/dL and comparator with TG <150 mg/dL and HDL-C >40 mg/dL.
