Predictors of the primary endpoint in univariate and multivariate analyses.

Variable	Univariate analysis	Multivariate analysis
	value	HR	95% CI	value
Age (years)	0.01	1.11	1.03–1.19	0.01
Gal-3 (per 1 ng/mL)	0.001	1.61	1.07-2.42	0.02
sST2 (per 1 ng/mL)	0.04	1.01	0.94–1.08	0.87
Baseline LVEF (%)	<0.001	0.80	0.70–0.90	<0.001
NT-proBNP (per 100 ng/L)	0.02	0.99	0.95-1.01	0.33

Bold values indicate values < 0.05. CI: confidence interval; Gal-3: galectin-3; HR: hazard ratio; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; sST2: soluble interleukin-1 receptor-like 1.
