Figure. Titin-Truncating Variant (TTNtv) and Survival in Recovered Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy
In the 3 years following successful left ventricular assist device explantation, the actuarial rate of survival and freedom from transplant at 1, 2, and 3 years postexplant in TTNtv-positive cases was 83%, 83%, and 67%. In TTNtv-negative cases, the rate was 88%, 88%, and 75%. Differences between the survival rates were tested using the Mantel-Cox test.
