End-point is the participants who had atrial fibrillation and heart failure, whichever happened first. In multivariate analysis, adjustments were made for age, race, gender; body mass index, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, use of hypertension medication, diabetes mellitus/impaired fasting glucose, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and log(SRI).

SRI: strain relaxation index; EDSR: early diastolic strain rate; Combined, AF, or HF; HF: heart failure; AF: atrial fibrillation; AUC: area under the curve.
