NPPB and heart failure: The largest difference in the cumulative incidence of heart failure (Figure 3) was seen between patients with or without elevated BNP and with or without LVH either on ECG and/or echo (HR 3.98, 95% CI = 2.52 to 6.30, P<0.001 and HR 3.29, 95% CI = 1.35 to 7.99, P = 0.009, respectively).
