SI was not significantly different between treatment groups at baseline. After 4 months, SI had increased in the CABG + SVR group, but was unchanged in the CABG alone group (0.69\u2009\u00b1\u20090.10 to 0.77\u2009\u00b1\u20090.12 vs. 0.67\u2009\u00b1\u20090.07 to 0.66\u2009\u00b1\u20090.09, respectively; P &amp;lt; 0.001). SI did not significantly change from 4 months to 2 years in either group. Although LV end-systolic volume and EF improved significantly more in the CABG + SVR group compared with CABG alone, the severity of mitral regurgitation significantly improved only in the CABG alone group, and the estimated LV filling pressure (E\/A ratio) increased only in the CABG + SVR group. Higher baseline SI was associated with worse survival after surgery (hazard ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval 1.02\u2009\u2212\u20091.43; P = 0.026). Survival was not significantly different by treatment strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although SVR was designed to improve LV geometry, SI worsened after SVR despite improved LVEF and smaller LV volume.
