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).
