Figure 2 Incidence of cardiovascular events after 30 months of follow-up by categories of BNP and CRP at baseline. Group I (n = 45), BNP <53 pg/mL and CRP <0.095 mg/dL; group II (n = 10), BNP ≥53 pg/mL and CRP <0.095 mg/dL; group III (n = 32), BNP <53 pg/mL and CRP ≥0.095 mg/dL; group IV (n = 22), BNP ≥53 pg/mL, and CRP ≥0.095 mg/dL.
