Patients with cardiac events had higher body mass index, incidence of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, NTproBNP and hs-cTnI levels, SPAP, E, E/A, E/e’ ratio and E/(e’×s’), larger LAV, lower index LV end-systolic volume, LVEF, and s’ velocities. The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
