Multivariate predictors of left ventricular global longitudinal strain: patients receiving clozapine (n=100)

	Standardised coefficient β	p Value
Neutrophil count	0.33	0.007
HDL-C level	−0.27	0.02
NT-proBNP	−0.22	0.08

Backward selection regression model using a p value cut-off of <0.1, R²=0.29.

Other variables included in the analysis and subsequently removed—body mass index, age, heart rate, duration of clozapine treatment, triglyceride level, HsCRP, smoking and diabetes.

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