Greater vs. lesser LVMi regression defined by sex-specific median % change in LVMi from baseline to 30 days post-TAVR.

The event rates were calculated with the use of Kaplan-Meier methods.

Abbreviations: LVMi, left ventricular mass index; CHF, congestive heart failure; TAVR, transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
