- In our cohort, the data on the maximal LVOT gradient were not available in 15 (1.3%) patients and the missing values were imputed using the median.
- Values are presented as the mean±SD, median (interquartile range) or n (%)
- AHA American Heart Association, LVedd left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, LVOT left ventricular outflow tract, MWT maximal wall thickness, NT-proBNP N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, NYHA New York Heart Association
- #Heart failure phenotypes were identified using AHA criteria
- *Comparison between patients with HFpEF and non-HF patients
