All underwent transthoracic echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance. A combined adverse end point included progression to New York Heart Association class II or greater or development of systolic dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction &lt;50%). Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n                      Over 4.4 (range, 2.4\u20137.0) years, 98 patients (29%) experienced New York Heart Association progression (6.6%\/year). Of these patients, 34 (35%) underwent septal reduction therapy, 4 (4%) developed end\u2010stage heart failure without intervention, and 2 (2%) developed left ventricular ejection fraction &lt;50%. Independent multivariable predictors of the adverse end point were impaired right ventricular stroke volume index, female sex, and prior atrial fibrillation.
