Conditions	HR	95% CI	p Value
TE (n = 34)
Atherosclerosis	2.11	0.98–4.53	0.055
Previous cardiac surgery	2.40	1.19–4.84	0.014
Ball valve	2.92	1.43–5.94	0.003
Late TE > 30 d (n = 28)
LV EF ≤ 50%	2.48	1.13–5.44	0.024
Previous cardiac surgery	3.30	1.51–7.20	0.003
Ball valve	3.03	1.38–6.67	0.006
Ischemic stroke (n = 27)
LV EF ≤ 50%	2.66	1.21–5.86	0.015

Bleeding (n = 28)
History of cancer	4.01	1.89–8.52	< 0.0001
INR-SD	2.48	1.11–5.55	0.027
