Ratio of Early Mitral Inflow Velocity to the Global Diastolic Strain Rate and Global Left Ventricular Longitudinal Systolic Strain Predict Overall Mortality and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Hemodialysis Patients

Table 4

Comparisons of the E/E’ ratio with the E/E’sr ratio and LVEF with GLS in the prediction of overall mortality, CV mortality, and MACE.

	Overall mortality		CV mortality		MACE
	change		change		change
Basic model+E/E’ ratio	0.509	0.476	0.005	0.943	0.422	0.516
Basic model+E/E’sr ratio	13.914	<0.001	6.833	0.009	5.424	0.020
Basic model+LVEF	0.484	0.487	1.234	0.267	1.167	0.280
