Fig 2 Survival curves (Kaplan-Meier) according to log-rank univariate analysis of significant variables. (A) The effect of preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (p = 0.001); (B) preoperative atrial fibrillation (p < ); (C) additional preoperative mitral regurgitation (p = 0.002); and (D) presence of leaflet calcification (p < 0.05) on survival rate.
