Results indicated that elevated plasma ADAMTS-7 levels were independently associated with heart failure after AMI (OR = 1.236, 95% CI: 1.023 to 1.378, P = 0.021) as well as age (OR = 1.158, 95% CI: 1.013 to 1.438, P = 0.035) and hsCRP (OR = 1.285, 95% CI: 1.002 to 1.411, P = 0.016) (Table 3). The gene discussed is ADAMTS7; the disease is heart failure.
