Association of end-systolic volume index with heart failure hospitalization

ESVI quartile	Proportion hospitalized for HF	Unadjusted HR (95% CI)	P value	Adjusted HR (95% CI)	P value^*
I	3%	1	—	1	—
II	7%	2.1 (0.9–4.8)	.096	1.1 (0.3–3.5)	.88
III	8%	2.4 (1.1–5.6)	.035	1.8 (0.5–4.9)	.47
IV	27%	9.7 (4.6–20.1)	< .0001	5.0 (1.5–16.9)	.01

ESVI, End-systolic volume index; HF, heart failure; CI, confidence interval.

Adjusted for sex, body mass index, blood pressure, creatinine clearance, log NT-proBNP, history of HF or MI, medications, LV mass index, left atrial volume index, mitral regurgitation, diastolic function, LV EDVI, LV EF, and inducible ischemia.
