Multivariate predictors of left ventricular global longitudinal strain: all patients with schizophrenia (n=121)

	Standardised coefficient β	p Value
Patient receiving clozapine	0.25	0.01
Heart rate	0.21	0.03
HDL-C level	−0.18	0.03

Backward selection regression model using a p value cut-off of <0.1, R²=0.22.

Other variables included in the analysis and subsequently removed—neutrophil count, NT-proBNP, body mass index, HsCRP, age, triglyceride level, smoking and diabetes.

HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HsCRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
