Presentation Title
Sex- and Race-Specific Models for Continuous Lifetime Risk Estimation of Incident Heart Failure (Finalist for the EBC Early Career Award)

Objectives
Burden of HF is growing in terms of higher prevalence and increasing death rates, especially in younger adults <65
Prevention is imperative, but the dominant contribution of age in short-term risk prediction models misses important opportunities in younger adults
While short-term risk prediction models for HF are available, but no models for estimating individuals’ long-term risk for HF (which must account for competing risks) exist
