Table 3. Association between asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ASLVD) and adverse clinical outcomes.

Variable	RR (95% CI)
	Mildly Impaired (n = 269)	Moderate/Severely Impaired (n = 141)
Incident heart failure
Unadjusted	1.94 (1.60–2.36)	4.30 (3.42–5.42)
Fully adjusted	1.31 (1.06–1.63)	2.34 (1.81–3.02)
Cardiovascular mortality
Unadjusted	2.60 (2.16–3.12)	4.48 (3.57–5.63)
Fully adjusted	1.94 (1.59–2.37)	2.53 (1.98–3.24)
All-cause mortality
Unadjusted	1.67 (1.46–1.91)	2.75 (2.31–3.27)
Fully adjusted	1.33 (1.15–1.54)	1.76 (1.46–2.13)

Mildly impaired correlated with LV ejection fraction of 45–54%; moderate/severely impaired correlated with LV ejection fraction of <45%

RR = relative risk.
