From: Malnutrition, renal dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy synergistically increase the long-term incidence of cardiovascular events

Figure 1

Kaplan–Meier curves for cardiovascular events according to (a) geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) ⩽96 or >96, (b) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 or ⩾60 ml min−1 per 1.73 m2, (c) the presence or absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), (d) the presence or absence of proteinuria, (e) left atrial diameter (LAD) <40 or ⩾40 mm and (f) the presence or absence of hypertension. Lower GNRI (a), lower eGFR (b), the presence of LVH (c), the presence of proteinuria (d) and higher LAD (e) were associated with a higher rate of cardiovascular events, but the prevalence of hypertension was not significantly associated with cardiovascular events (f).
