Model A was adjusted for age, gender, race, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, history of coronary artery disease, family history of coronary artery disease, history of left ventricular dysfunction, smoking, aspirin, statin, systolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and left ventricular ejection fraction measured by CT. Body mass index was included only in the LVM model.

††

Model B was adjusted for all covariates in model A with the addition of relative wall thickness as a continuous variable.
