Data are regression coefficients for a 1-SD higher eGFR.

LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; IVRT, isovolumic relaxation time; MPI, myocardial performance index.

Model A: adjusted age, sex. Model B: DAG-adjusted; age, sex, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BMI, diabetes, LDL-cholesterol and smoking. Whole cohort PIVUS: LVEF (n = 785), IVRT (n = 850), MPI (n = 732); ULSAM: LVEF (n = 407), IVRT (n = 494), MPI (n = 424).
