Levels of the different tested parameters in patients with and without the event
| Event* | All patients n = 107 | Mortality n = 21 | Hospital admission n = 26 | No events n = 70 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPC–CFU, endothelial progenitor cells–colony-forming units; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; NT-pro-BNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor. | ||||
| *10 patients had CHF-related hospital admission prior to mortality event. | ||||
