Categorical variables are shown as n (%) and continuous variables as mean (SD), unless otherwise specified. AF indicates atrial fibrillation; IQR, interquartile range; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LVEDD, left ventricular end‐diastolic dimension; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; RVSP, right ventricular systolic pressure.

*

Includes patients with resting LVOT obstruction (gradient >30 mm Hg) or labile LVOT obstruction (resting gradient <30 mm Hg and provoked gradient >50 mm Hg).

Data available for n=1706; n=2556; §n=1649; n=824 patients.
