Bold values indicate statistical significance (p ≤ 0.05)

Both early cumulative fluid overload (assessed at 72 h following post-cardiac transplantation) and overall cFO (assessed at 1 week following post-cardiac transplantation) data are presented with respect to cardiopulmonary filling pressures and cardiac index at respective time points post-cardiac transplantation

Odds of elevated cardiopulmonary filling pressure or low cardiac index were calculated using a logistic regression model and displayed as odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI)

RAP right atrial pressure, PCWP pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, CI cardiac index
