After controlling for age, sex, LVEF, baseline SBP, and AF type, logNT-proBNP was still a predictor in the aggressive group (HR 1.43, p = 0.03), but not in the standard group (HR 0.83, p = 0.22) (Table 3), or in the entire study cohort (HR 1.04, p = 0.74). This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and atrial fibrillation.
