  1. Bold indicated p-value < 0.05
  2. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate (in units, ml/min/1.73 m2), CI confidence interval, CRP C-reactive protein, EV end-diastolic volume, ESV end-systolic volume, EF ejection fraction, GLS global longitudinal strain, LV left ventricular, LGE late gadolinium enhancement, IVC inferior vena cava
  3. p-value < 0.05 was considered significant
