SCD, sudden cardiac death. Adjusted for gender, age, smoking, hypertension, index diagnosis, diabetes mellitus, CHF (defined by Killip-Kimball class at admission; patients in classes 2 to 4 were classified as CHF patients and those in class 1 as non-CHF), history of previous CHD (i.e., history of either angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass graft), hypercholesterolemia/use of statins, TnT >0.01 ng/mL, eGFR, hsCRP, BNP, body mass index (kg/m2), and beta-blockers prior to enrolment.
