  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables with normal distribution, median and 25th and 75th percentiles (P25-P75) for variables with non-normal distribution and count (percentage) for categorical variables.
  2. (BMI – body mass index; s – seconds; DD – diastolic dysfunction; IVRT – isovolumetric relaxation time; LV – left ventricle; LVDD – left ventricle diastolic dysfunction).
