  1. Values are hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) and represent a 1 SD increase of the log transformed values of NT-proBNP and coronary artery calcium score
  2. Adjusted models include sex, age, LDL and HDL cholesterol, smoking, HbA1c, eGFR, systolic blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion rate. Fully adjusted models additionally include coronary artery calcium score and NT-proBNP mutually
  3. Significance of the hazard ratios: aP < 0.05, bP <0.01, cP <0.0001
