Model 1: unadjusted

Model 2: Adjusted for age and sex

Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, CHF, CHD, HLD, HTN, DM, PVD, CKD

Model 4: Adjusted for CHA2DS2-VASc score

ECH characteristic subgroups may not add up to total N of study (N= 764,257) because the unexposed (no ECH) group is unchanged in these subgroups.
