Table 3.

Group Sizes and Numbers of Primary Endpoints, Sensitivities, Specificities, and Positive and Negative Predictive Values for Selected Subroups Defined by LVEF and PESP

Risk‐Stratification Criterion e/n Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)
LVEF ≤35% alone 20/87 27.8 92.3 23.0 93.9
LVEF ≤35% or LVEF >35% and PESP present 31/134 43.1 88.1 23.1 94.9

e indicates number of primary endpoints; LVEF, left ventricular ejetion fraction; n, size of subgroup; NPV, negative predictive value; PESP, postextrasystolic potentiation; PPV, positive predictive value.
