3 Figure 2 Annualized risk of incident heart failure for participants with normal versus abnormal lung function tests at baseline, adjusted for predictors of heart failure and body mass index. Smoothed hazard estimate was obtained using an Epanechnikov kernel. Although the absolute annualized risk increases from year 1 to year 5 before reaching a plateau in both groups, the relative risk remains stable over time.

5 Figure 4 Unadjusted incident heart failure rates according to baseline forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) values. Rates are expressed in cases per 1000 person-years. The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
