The HR for continuous variables was obtained by contrasting the hazard estimated at the first and third quartiles values observed in the sample.

CI, confidence interval; CHF, hospitalization for congestive heart failure; LV, left ventricular; NYHA, New York Heart Association; PASP, pulmonary artery systolic pressure; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.
