Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier plots for outcomes grouped by heart failure stages.

Figure 2

A, Incident clinical HF. B, CVD events. C, CVD death. D, All‐cause death. The numbers of subjects at risk by HF stages are noted at each time point. P values indicate the log‐rank test. Individuals with prevalent MI in Stage B were excluded for these analyses. Additionally, participants with prevalent CVD were excluded for analyses of incident CVD. Prevalent HF events at visit 5 (but after visit 3) that did not have an exact time of onset were deemed to have occurred at the midpoint between the 2 examinations for participants, which accounts for the steep change in slope between 8 and 12 y of follow‐up. CVD indicates cardiovascular disease; HF, heart failure; and MI, myocardial infarction.
