NPPB and Tricuspid regurgitation: Multivariate linear regressions showed that AoDi was associated with a higher NT-proBNP, more unfavorable left ventricular (LV) remodeling, worsened LV systolic annular velocity (TDI-s′), a higher probability of presenting with LV hypertrophy, and abnormal LV diastolic indices except tricuspid regurgitation velocity by contemporary diastolic dysfunction (DD) criteria (all p < 0.05).
