Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, race/center, current cigarette smoking, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the use of hypertension medications, diabetes, prevalent myocardial infarction and prevalent heart failure. Model 2: adjusted for Model 1 + estimated glomerular filtration rate, antiarrhythmic medication use, beta blocker medication use, and anticoagulation use

Hazard ratio (HR) expressed as the risk of incident AF per doubling of the protein value

Significance level of P<0.05/40 = 1.25 x 10−3. These 40 proteins are ordered by smallest to largest p-value for Model 2.
