Recent cardiac decompensation, aortic valve disease and tricuspid valve insufficiency were observed more frequently in patients with higher sPAP. Furthermore, logEuroSCORE, Society of Thoracic Surgeons score and age were higher with rising sPAP values. No differences were observed in mitral regurgitation (MR) severity, co-morbidities or clinical findings (New York Heart Association class, 6-min walking distance). Reduction to MR of grade 1 or lower was achieved more often in patients with lower sPAP levels (P\u2009=\u20090.01). In Groups 2 and 3, sPAP was reduced significantly. Major adverse cardiac or cardiovascular events (MACCEs) occurring in hospital (death, myocardial infarction, stroke; &amp;lt;4% in each group), as well as 30-day rates of MACCEs (6.1% in Group\u20091, 11.9% in Group\u20092, 12.4% in Group\u20093) and rehospitalization (18.9% in Group\u20091, 24.8% in Group\u20092, 24.8% in Group\u20093) did not differ significantly. At 1\u2009year, differences in rates of mortality and MACCEs (20.3% in Group\u20091, 33.1% in Group\u20092, 34.7% in Group\u20093; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01) were significant. Both Groups 2 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.81, P\u2009=\u20090.0122] and 3 (HR 1.85, P\u2009=\u20090.0092) were independently predictive of death.
