CRP and familial dilated cardiomyopathy: A multivariable Cox regression model that included these potential factors, along with basic confounders such as age, sex, BMI, etiology of DCM, and duration of treatment, demonstrated that elevated CRP (HR 6.727, p < 0.001) and enlarged LVD (HR 3.038, p = 0.007) were the strongest risk factors associated with all-cause mortality/HTx, irrespective of sex (male vs. female, HR 0.320, p = 0.010), BMI (HR 0.904, p = 0.002), smoking (HR 1.915, p = 0.094), and LVEF (HR 1.931, p = 0.074).
