  2. Vascular risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, current smoker, overweight and physical inactivity
  3. E-values represent the minimum strength of association an unmeasured confounder would have to possess between both the exposure and the outcome in order to reduce the observed association between the exposure and outcome to 1 (no association) on the relative scale
