  1. Results are expressed in mean (SD) for continuous variables, frequency and percentage for categorical variables and median [25th;75th] for variables not normally distributed. EF: ejection fraction, E/e´: estimated left ventricular filling pressure, LAV: left atrial volume, HF: heart failure. BMI: body mass index, BP: blood pressure, NTproBNP: N-terminal fragment of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, MRproANP: Mid-regional pro atrial natriuretic peptide, HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin, LDL: low-density lipoproteins, eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate
