UUID 078c47bf-92d3-45de-83ae-25bf52cee751
Definition Inability of the heart to pump blood at an adequate rate to meet tissue metabolic requirements. Clinical symptoms of heart failure include unusual dyspnea on light exertion, recurrent dyspnea occurring in the supine position, fluid retention or rales, jugular venous distension, pulmonary edema on physical exam, or pulmonary edema on chest x-ray presumed to be cardiac dysfunction.

Risk factors analysis

‘Healthy’ BMI, smoking status ‘never’, or no hypertension (absence of hypertension records) were considered as reference values.

Hazard Ratio (HR) values with P < 0.0002 were considered to show significant association with disease onset after correction for multiple-testing using the Bonferroni method

N=153996, Events=147

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.93 (0.63, 1.37) 0.695
BMI obese 1 (0.64, 1.55) 0.987
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.994
smoking previous 1.24 (0.87, 1.76) 0.231
smoking current 1.53 (0.9, 2.59) 0.116
hypertension yes 1.65 (1.18, 2.3) 0.00322
