In DM group, admission HGL was associated with more female sex, higher prevalence of pulmonary congestion, lower body mass index, higher blood pressure, higher heart rate, higher previous history of HF, higher prevalence of dyslipidemia and atrial fibrillation, and higher level of hemoglobin A1C, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein as compared to no admission HGL. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and atrial fibrillation.
