Table 3 Relation of ET-1 level and disease outcomes.

From: Endothelin-1 is associated with mortality that can be attenuated with high intensity statin therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease

  1. aFor CV death and SCD, ET-1 quartile (as categorical variable) was not able to enter model 3 with forward-AIC selection or enter model S4. Therefore, shown are multivariable adjustment with all variables in model 3 but entering model together. The 1st quartile of ET-1 (Q1) was used as reference. ET-1 endothelin-1, CV death cardiovascular death, non-CV death non-cardiovascular death, SCD sudden cardiac death
