Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses of
predictors of progressive post-implant TR
Female gender, higher pre-implant TRPG, larger post-implant LA
dimension, lower post-implant LVEF and post-implant LVEF <40
were significant preditors of progressive post-implant TR (Table 3).
However, only pre-implant TRPG (HR: 1.075; 95% confidence interval
(CI): 1.032-1.121; p = 0.001) and post-implant LA dimension (HR: 1.076;
95% CI: 1.038-1.114; p < 0.001) were independent predictors
of progressive post-implant TR (Table 3).
