BMI (HR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.31–0.82, p = 0.006), heart failure (HR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.09–3.82, p = 0.026), stroke (HR = 6.42, 95% CI 2.08–18.89, p = 0.001), hypertension (HR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.26–0.88, p = 0.018), antiplatelet agents (HR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.27–0.99, p = 0.047), revascularization (HR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.24–0.81, p = 0.009), renal artery involvement (HR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.30–0.996, p = 0.049), coronary artery involvement (HR = 3.05, 95% CI 1.07–8.74, p = 0.038), and elevated CRP (HR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.01–3.64, p = 0.047) were associated with events in the univariate analysis. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Hypertension.
