Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for echocardiographic predictors of outcomes. By Cox proportional hazards modeling, right atrial (RA) area index (p = 0.005) and pericardial effusion (p = 0.003) were significant predictors of death; the relationship of diastolic eccentricity index to mortality was of marginal statistical significance (p = 0.074). Right atrial area index (p = 0.012), pericardial effusion (p = 0.017) and diastolic eccentricity index (p = 0.004) were all significant predictors of a composite end point of death or transplantation.
