Cardiac remodeling indices, including left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain, were assessed using speckle-tracking echocardiography. The primary outcome was cardiac death, while the secondary outcome was a composite of cardiac death or heart failure hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the study population (median age, 74 years; 47.2% women), the Kaplan-Meier\u2013estimated 5-year rates of cardiac mortality and the composite outcome were 16.7% and 33.9%, respectively, during a median follow-up of 42.8 months. Of the cardiac remodeling indices evaluated, LARS emerged as the most sensitive and independent predictor of cardiac death (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.948 per 1% increase;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.003) and the composite outcome (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.940 per 1% increase;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.001).
