Table 6.

Longitudinal changes of TCRT according to baseline values dichotomized at 100°.

Variable Total N = 98 Baseline TCRT < 100° N = 59 Baseline TCRT > 100° N = 39
Baseline TCRT 86 ± 41 58 ± 24 128 ± 17
Follow up TCRT 94 ± 41 72 ± 34 127 ± 27
Follow up TCRT > 100° N(%) 7(12) 34(87)
DTCRT 3.41 (32.91) 7.60(35.10) 0.97(23.18)
Transplanted N (%) 9 (9) 7 (12) 2 (5)

TCRT progressed > 100°
Yes (N = 7) No (N = 52) p-value

MACE, N% 31 (32) 4 (57) 15 (29) 0.048 17 (44)
Cardiac Death N% 9 (9) 1 (14) 6 (11) 0.225 7 (18)
Mortality N% 40 (41) 1 (14) 17 (32) 0.011 17 (44)

TCRT values are expressed as mean ± SD, DTCRT: TCRT (follow up)-TCRT (baseline), Outcomes are presented as number N (%). MACE, major cardiac events; TCRT, total cosine of R to T.
