Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female \> 40 years of age

* Diabetes type 1 or 2.
* Persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation.
* Previous ischemic or embolic stroke.
* Peripheral artery disease (previous surgical or percutaneous revascularization or documented stenosis \>50% of major peripheral arterial vessel.
* Chronic kidney disease (defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)\<60 milliliters per minute (mL/min)/1.73m2 or eGFR 60-90 mL/min/1.73m2 and urine albumin-creatinine ration (UACR) \>300mg/g).
* Regular loop diuretic use for \>30 days within 12 months prior to consent.
* Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) evidenced by one of the following: Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) showing airway obstruction, diagnosis of respiratory physician, CT scan reporting presence of emphysema, or treatment with national guidance advocated COPD therapy.

* Inability to give informed consent (e.g. due to significant cognitive impairment).
* Previous diagnosis of heart failure. This is any diagnosis of heart failure with any ejection fraction of any cause.
* Renal replacement therapy.
