Table 3.

LVEF 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	51.3 ± 14.9 (55.6%)	60.6 ± 4.2 (16.0%)	61.1 ± 5.3 (5.9%)	<0.01
	2^nd tertile N=64	59.1 ± 6.3 (22.2%)	62.9 ± 5.1 (10.0%)	64.1± 4.1 (0%)	<0.05
	3^rd tertile N=73	64.5 ± 5.4 (6.7%)	65.3 ± 3.2 (0%)	67.6 ± 3.6 (0%)	<0.05
	P value^*	<0.01	<0.01	<0.01

Values in table are mean LVEF (%)± standard deviation. Values in parentheses indicate the % of subjects with a LVEF <55% in each group. ε_L: Global systolic longitudinal strain. ε_C: Global systolic circumferential strain.

One-way ANOVA between tertiles.
