  		Figure 1 RAP and Cardiac Mortality

Relationship between mean right atrial pressure (RAP) and the likelihood of subsequent cardiac mortality. The lines for each time point are essentially superimposable. The dashed lines represent the 20% confidence limits. cath = catheterization; Tx = transplant; UAB = University of Alabama at Birmingham.

  		Figure 2 RAP/SV and Cardiac Mortality

Univariable depiction of the relationship between mean RAP divided by stroke volume (SV) and predicted cardiac mortality at 3 time points. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.

  		Figure 3 RV DD and Cardiac Death

Actuarial survival for differing categories of right ventricular (RV) diastolic dysfunction (DD). The error bars enclose ± 1 SE. Right ventricular DD is defined in terms of RAP/SV, and at each time point (6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year) is the value of RAP/SV at which discrimination in survival is possible at p = 0.05. Abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 2.
