The hazard ratio (HR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using univariate Cox regression, and variables with a statistical significance of were entered into the multivariate stepwise Cox proportional hazard regression model. BMI: body mass index; sCr: serum creatinine; RAASi: renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor; LVDD; left ventricular end diastolic dimension; LVDS: left ventricular end systolic diameter; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
