Upon univariate analysis, NT-proBNP (log) (HR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.1–11.6, p = 0.037), creatinine (HR: 12.8, 95% CI: 2.1–79.3, p = 0.006), and a previous history of ventricular arrhythmias (HR: 5.1, 95% CI: 1.0–25.9, p = 0.0497) were predictors of all-cause mortality (Table 2). The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is Ventricular arrhythmia.
