Reproducibility was assessed using Bland and Altman analysis.Data AnalysisData are presented as mean6standard deviation (SD) or median (quartiles), as appropriate. Differences on continuous data among 3 groups were compared using one-way order 11089-65-9 analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by either Tukeys or Games-Howell multiple comparison post hoc tests as appropriate. Serum level of NT-proBNP and Troponin T showed a significant skewed distribution, difference between groups was compared using the Mann-Whitney U-statistic test. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for the reduction of LSsys. Survival curves were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and compared by 23727046 Mantel-Cox log-rank tests. The end point was date of death or heart transplantation during follow-up. The mortality hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using univariate proportionalhazards regression analysis. The major determinants of mortalityFigure 1.
