The prognostic value of the visually assessed time difference between mitral valve and tricuspid valve opening score for patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The visually assessed time difference between the mitral valve and tricuspid valve opening (VMT) score was correlated with the increase of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP).

Hypothesis

We suspected that the VMT score might be a valuable prognostic biomarker for heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) patients. This study was to evaluate the predictive value of VMT score for 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-cause mortality in HFmrEF patients.

Methods

This cohort study enrolled 379 patients aged ≥18 years old with HFmrEF. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis was employed to assess the association between VMT score and all-cause or CVD-cause mortality in HFmrEF patients. Hazards ratio (HR), and 95%
