Univariate analyses showed that predictors of cardiovascular events in HOCM patients were diabetes (HR, 4.683; 95% CI, 1.209–18.143; p = 0.025), log NT-proBNP(HR, 43.067; 95% CI, 4.887–379.535; p = 0.001) and log sRAGE (HR, 0.005; 95% CI, 0–0.123; p = 0.001). Here, NPPB is linked to diabetes mellitus.
