Regression coefficients with corresponding probability values for regression analyses between changes in echocardiographic variables plotted against baseline heart rate or heart rate reduction

	Sinus rhythm (n=212)		Atrial fibrillation (n=45)
Echocardiographic variable	IRI	p Value	IRI	p Value
Baseline heart rate
Change in LVEDD	0.156	0.03	0.198	0.22
Change in LVESD	0.051	0.48	0.032	0.84
Change in LVFS	0.096	0.19	0.254	0.12
Heart rate reduction
Change in LVEDD	0.062	0.42	0.041	0.81
Change in LVESD	0.093	0.23	0.152	0.37
Change in LVFS	0.056	0.46	0.258	0.12

Applying a Bonferroni correction, a p value of < 0.004 was considered significant.

IRI, regression coefficient; LVEDD, left ventricular end diastolic dimension; LVESD, left ventricular end systolic dimension; LVFS, left ventricular fractional shortening.
