  1. All analyses were adjusted for baseline age, sex, race, and ethnicity as well as baseline and time-updated BMI, eGFR, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, arrhythmia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and antihypertensive classes.
