Figure 1 (A) Transmitral early diastolic velocity/tissue Doppler early diastolic annular velocity (E/Ea) in patients with congestive heart failure: Kaplan-Meier event-free survival. (B) B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with congestive heart failure: Kaplan-Meier event-free survival. E/Ea = transmitral peak diastolic velocity/tissue Doppler early diastolic mitral annular velocity.
