Values in table are parameter estimates per standard deviation increase (β), standard errors (SE), and partial correlation coefficients (Part. R). Each predictor is evaluated in a separate model. Model 1, unadjusted; model 2, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, SBP, DBP, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, smoking history, LV mass index, relative wall thickness, and LV diastolic dysfunction; model 3, adjusted for covariates from model 2 plus LVEF. DBP indicates diastolic blood pressure; GLS indicate global longitudinal strain; LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; SBP, systolic blood pressure; and WMHV, white matter hyperintensity volume.
