Of these patients, 149 (5.7%) were excluded for repeat admittance, and 63 (2.4%) were excluded because valvular heart disease was considered the main reason for HF. Of the study participants, 17 were lost from follow-up because incorrect contact information had been provided on enrollment. Of the 2386 patients included in the outcome analysis: all were included in the analysis of the prognostic utility of the ADRB2 Arg16Gly, ADRB2 Gln27Glu, and GRK5 Arg304His variants; 2377 patients were included in the analysis of the prognostic utility of the ADRB1 Arg389Gly variants; and 2384 patients were included in the analysis of the prognostic utility of the GRK5 Gln41Leu variant %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6198009/
