Table 2.

ε_R values in ε_L and ε_C tertiles

		ε_L
		1^st tertile N=69	2^nd tertile N=73	3^rd tertile N=73	P value^*
ε_C	1^st tertile N=78	19.7 ± 6.9	23.6 ± 5.3	25.1 ± 5.7	<0.01
	2^nd tertile N=64	25.9 ± 4.6	27.6 ± 6.5	28.8 ± 4.1	0.30
	3^rd tertile N=73	32.6 ± 10.2	31.5 ±6.7	34.4 ± 6.7	0.35
	P value^*	<0.01	<0.01	<0.01

Values in table are mean ε_R (%)± standard deviation. ε_L: Global systolic longitudinal strain. ε_C: Global systolic circumferential strain. ε_R: Global systolic radial strain.

One-way ANOVA between tertiles.
