Results are presented separately for (a) N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and (b) cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Line represents hazard ratio and shaded area represents the 95 % confidence interval. Vertical bars represent the distribution of the biomarkers. Data are limited to ≥0.5^th percentile and ≤99.5^th percentiles
