Elevated pericardial fat volume (PFV) was associated with a greater risk
of heart failure (HF) after adjustment for anthropometric indicators of obesity
in multivariable models. *High PFV was defined as ≥70 cm3 in
women and ≥120 cm3 in men. †Hazard ratios are shown on
a logarithmic scale. Vertical bars denote 95% confidence intervals. ‡r
denotes correlation coefficient. §Introduced as a continuous variable in
statistical models. ||Race, cigarette smoking, alcohol
consumption, and vigorous physical activity at baseline. #Hypertension, diabetes
mellitus, and dyslipidemia at baseline and interim myocardial infarction during
follow-up.
