#' Aortic valve replacement surgery data
#' 
#' @description This is longitudinal data on an observational study on detecting
#'   effects of different heart valves, differing on type of tissue, implanted
#'   in the aortic position. The data consists of longitudinal measurements on
#'   three different heart function outcomes, after surgery occurred. There are
#'   several baseline covariates available, and also survival data.

#' @usage data(heart.valve)
#' @format This is a data frame in the unbalanced format, that is, with one row 
#'   per observation. The data consists in columns for patient identification, 
#'   time of measurements, longitudinal multiple longitudinal measurements, 
#'   baseline covariates, and survival data. The column names are identified as 
#'   follows:
