aHypertension (SBP ≥ 140 or DBP ≥ 90), hypotension (SBP < 90), conduction abnormality (any of the following: short or long PR interval, right bundle branch block, left bundle branch block, other intraventricular conduction delay), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH); LVH criteria (Sokolow–Lyon) were used to examine only subjects ≥35 years old.

bNon-cardiovascular review of systems is as follows: Dermatologic (angiokeratomas, hypohydrosis, anhydrosis), HEENT (corneal or lens abnormalities, headache, hypacousia, vertigo), GI (abdominal pain, diarrhoea), Renal (hematuria, proteinuria), Neural (acroparesthesia), Musculoskeletal (arthralgia, myalgia, pain).
