Bold values significant on multivariable analysis.

CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; ICD, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; LP, likely pathogenic; MaCE, major cardiac event; P, Pathogenic; SCD, sudden cardiac death.

First degree affected relative and presence of multiple P/LP variants were not included in the models for MaCE because HR was unestimable as the events did not occur in one of the two groups.
