Peak systolic velocity using color-coded tissue Doppler imaging, a strong and independent predictor of outcome in acute coronary syndrome patients

Table 5 Cox-regression analysis

Parameter	Model 1.		Model 2.		Model 3.
Parameter	Adjusted for age, gender, diabetes, hypertension and previous heart failure.		Adjusted for the same factors as model 1 plus NT proBNP 24 h and eGFR		Adjusted for the same as model 1 plus PSV. The corresponding results for PSV is also presented for each parameter HR (95%CI)
