Table 3 Adjusted multivariate Cox regression analysis. Follow-up time is one year from CRT implantation to 10 years from CRT implantation

Variable	Risk of death from any cause or heart transplantation
Variable	Adjusted HR*	95%CI	p-value
One year after CRT implantation
New-onset AF vs. No AF (ref)	1.65	0.89–3.09	0.12
AF + BivP> 98% vs. No AF (ref)	1.42	0.89–2.26	0.14
AF + BivP≤98% vs. No AF (ref)	1.93	1.23–3.03	0.005

* adjusted for age, pre-procedural AF, NYHA Class I/II compared to III/IV, LVEF, LBBB and ischemic etiology of HF at CRT implantation
