The annualized weight change from index to final evaluation for the tertiles was: \u221221.1 to \u22121.8\u2009kg\/year (tertile 1); \u22121.8 to 0\u2009kg\/year (tertile 2); and 0 to +17.0\u2009kg\/year (tertile 3). Patients in tertile 1 had subtle abnormalities in ventilatory control at baseline, but there were no other significant differences between groups across a vast array of haemodynamic and metabolic parameters, both at rest and during exercise. Baseline weight was directly correlated with right and left heart filling pressures (r\u2009=\u20090.23\u20130.34, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), but annualized weight change showed no correlation with any baseline haemodynamic measurements (all p\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). Over a median follow-up of 4.7\u2009years (interquartile range 2.3\u20136.5), patients in tertile 1 had higher risk of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 3.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.77\u20136.39, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), all-cause death or HF hospitalization (HR 2.49, 95% CI 1.53\u20134.04, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and cardiac death or HF hospitalization (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.28\u20134.07, p\u2009=\u20090.005) compared with those in tertile 2 or 3.
