  1. CI denotes confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, LAAEF left atrial active emptying fraction, LAEF left atrial emptying fraction, LAPEF left atrial passive emptying fraction.
  2. *Model 1 was adjusted for very severe aortic stenosis, age at diagnosis, gender, body mass index (BMI), arterial hypertension, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, history of malignancy, chronic lung disease, previous symptomatic stroke/transient ischemic attack, Katz index of independence ≤4, dementia, atrial fibrillation appearance during follow-up, LVEF right ventricular enlargement and TAPSE
  3. ŦModel 2 was adjusted for variables used in model 1 and aortic valve replacement during follow-up.
