APOA4 and heart failure: During follow‐up, each 10 mg/dl higher apoA‐IV was significantly associated with a lower risk for all‐cause mortality (600 cases, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.81, 95% CI 0.73–0.89, p = 0.00004), incident major adverse cardiovascular events (506 cases, HR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.79–0.99, p = 0.03) and death or hospitalizations due to heart failure (346 cases, HR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.73–0.96, p = 0.01).
