Abbreviations: LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDVI = height-indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESVI = height-indexed left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVMI = height-indexed left ventricular mass; LVMV = left ventricular mass to volume ratio. Quantities represent median (interquartile range). P values represent Wilcoxon rank-sum testing between the above- and below-median fat strata.
