Key result
Having ≥4 Life's Simple 7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was associated with a 61% lower risk of incident heart failure in blacks compared to 0-2 factors (HR 0.39; 95% CI 0.24-0.64; P=0.0002).
Why the study?

Promoting ≥4 Life's Simple 7 metrics may lower HF risk in blacks; extends prior data yet leaves open need for trials.
Spahillari et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=4,195). ≥4 Life's Simple 7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics vs. 0 to 2 Life's Simple 7 factors was evaluated on Incident heart failure (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.24-0.64, p=0.0002). Having ≥4 Life's Simple 7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was associated with a 61% lower risk of incident heart failure in blacks compared to 0-2 factors (HR 0.39; 95% CI 0.24-0.64; P=0.0002).
