  • LV ejection fraction were not adjusted for multivariable regressions because of collinearity (between LV end-systolic dimension and LV ejection fraction, R=−0.80).

  • A-FMR, atrial functional mitral regurgitation; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; MR, mitral regurgitation; NYHA, New York Heart Association; V-FMR, ventricular functional mitral regurgitation.
