Results of logistic regression model of predictors of early arrhythmias in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Variables with p < 0.10 from the univariable analysis were considered for inclusion in an optimized multivariable model, created using backward stepwise selection until only significant variables remained. Truncating variant in titin (TTNtv) was added to this optimized model.

FHx = family history; LAVi = indexed left atrial volume; LGE = midwall fibrosis late gadolinium enhancement; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction; SCD = sudden cardiac death.
