Table 2. Secondary and Tertiary Echocardiography End Points at Baseline and 6 Months Following Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantation.
Variable | Baseline | 6 Months | No. of Patients With Baseline and 6-mo Results | Absolute Change, Mean (SD) | P Valuea | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No. of Patients | Mean (SD) | No. of Patients | Mean (SD) | ||||
Left ventricular end-diastolic volume, mL | 27 | 171.0 (47.2) | 25 | 143.2 (41.2) | 23 | −31.9 (22.5) | <.001 |
Left ventricular end-systolic volume, mL | 27 | 122.7 (37.1) | 25 | 89.0 (32.2) | 23 | −37.0 (20.4) | <.001 |
Left ventricular ejection fraction, % | 29 | 28.5 (3.8) | 26 | 39.1 (7.1) | 26 | 10.6 (6.6) | <.001 |
Left atrial volume, mL | 29 | 60.3 (15.2) | 26 | 47.9 (11.6) | 26 | −12.6 (9.6) | <.001 |
P value is derived from paired t tests examining absolute change from baseline to 6 months when normality assumptions were met.
