Multivariable predictors of late cardiac death
VariablesHR95% CIp Value
Model without Cn
Age (years)1.1031.066 to 1.141<0.001
NYHA functional class III/IV5.2852.019 to 13.8360.001
Moderate or severe TR1.9761.272 to 3.0690.002
Model with Cn*
Age (years)1.1021.065 to 1.141<0.001
NYHA functional class III/IV5.3742.055 to 14.0530.001
Moderate or severe TR2.0791.305 to 3.3140.002
Cn (mL/mm Hg)0.6720.504 to 0.8960.007
  • *NRI of including Cn in the model: 0.568; 95% CI 0.186 to 0.849; p=0.002.

  • Cn, net atrioventricular compliance; NRI, net reclassification improvement; NYHA, New York Heart Association; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.
