Association of baseline MMP-9 and BNP with risk of subsequent cardiac hospitalization or death

	Univariate		Multivariate^*
			MMP-9 alone		BNP-Alone		MMP-9 and BNP
	Hazard Ratio	p-value	Hazard Ratio	p-value	Hazard Ratio	p-value	Hazard Ratio	p-value
MMP-9, log ng/mL	1.14	0.19	1.02	0.8	-	-	0.98	0.9
BNP, log pg/mL	1.28	<.001	-	-	1.14	0.02	1.15	0.02

Adjusted for age, gender, race, BMI, heart failure duration, ischemic etiology, NYHA class, creatinine clearance, EF, LVEDDI, and use of cardiac resynchronization and defibrillators. Other covariates showed minimal associations in univariate models (P > 0.1) and were not included in multivariate models.
