| Variable | Nonconversion group | Conversion group | p-value |
| Subjects n | 80 | 18 | |
| ΔNYHA class | 0.0 (-0.1–0.2) | -0.1 (-0.5–2.3) | 0.38 |
| ΔLVEF % | -0.7 (-1.9–0.6) | 2.8 (-0.4–6.0) | 0.01 |
| ΔCHFQ dyspnoea score | 0.1 (0.5–1.2) | 0.9 (0.2–1.6) | 0.01 |
Data are presented as mean (95% CI), unless otherwise indicated. ΔNYHA: change in New York Heart Association; ΔLVEF: change in left ventricular ejection fraction; ΔCHFQ: change in Chronic Heart Failure Questionnaire score (>0.75 represents important change of moderate magnitude). p-values are for between group comparisons (ANCOVA).
