As a result, the serum albumin concentration (HR = 1.61; p = 0.032), the CAR value (HR = 1.23; p = 0.040), patient’s age (HR = 1.10; p = 0.042) and EF% (HR = 1.10; p = 0.044) were selected as significant dependent factors affecting the survival in the studied group of CHF patients. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is congestive heart failure.
