Fig 1 Relationship (correlation test) between body surface area (BSA) and mitral annulus area (MAA). Mitral annulus area measurements were performed by two-dimensional multiplane transesophageal echocardiography in normal, healthy adults. (n = 15 patients; r = 0.847; p < 0.001; MAA = 0.59 + 2.9 × BSA.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 751-755DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(01)03433-6)
Fig 2 Survival rate in patients with primary dilated cardiomyopathy after reductive annuloplasty of double orifices procedure. The straight lines represent cumulative survival rate, and the dashed lines represent confidence limits equivalent to one standard error (± SE) of cumulative survival rate. (N = the number of patients at risk at each time point.) Mean follow up was 20 months (range, 1 to 83 months). The follow up rate was 100% (n = 76 patients).

Fig 3 Decompensation free rate in patients with primary dilated cardiomyopathy after reductive annuloplasty of double orifices procedure. The straight lines represent cumulative decompensation free rate, and the dashed lines represent confidence limits equivalent to one standard error (± SE). (N = the number of patients at risk at each time point.) Mean follow up was 20 months (1 to 83 months). The follow up rate was 100% (n = 76 patients).
