2. Figure 1
Postulated mechanisms underlying the interactions between the heart and kidneys. Arrows indicate pathways by which heart failure may lead to chronic kidney disease and vice versa. The relative importance of these and other mechanisms is not known, and many of these relationships are based on animal models. Abbreviation: GFR, glomerular filtration rate.

4. Figure 3
Adjusted hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals of incident heart failure at varying degrees of albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), along the continuum of estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C concentration (eGFRcys). eGFR knots at 45, 60, 75, 90, and 105mL/min/1.73m2. Reference group is eGFRcys of 95mL/min/1.73m2 and ACR of 5mg/g.
