  1. Model 1 is adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, smoking status, total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, BMI, blood glucose, HbA1C levels, pro-BNP, prevalent ischemic heart disease and prevalent heart failure. Model 2 is adjusted for the same variables as Model 1 with the addition of A. In the multivariable models, only parameters reaching statistical significance are shown
  2. LVIDD/height left ventricular internal diameter at end diastole indexed to height, LVMI left ventricular mass index, IVSD interventricular septum diameter, PWT posterior wall thickness, AWT average wall thickness, RWT relative wall thickness, LAVI left atrial volume index, DT deceleration time
