BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDD index, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter indexed to body surface area; ICD, implantable cardioverter defibrillator; CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy; CRT-D, pacemaker with CRT + ICD. All data are presented percentages or mean ± SD. Resuscitated includes both resuscitated and those with appropriate shocks by ICD. Other mutation group includes two RBM20 mutations, one in each MYH7, TNNT2, TCAP, and DMD.

*Mean significant difference compared with other mutation group (aTTN, bLMNA, cDSP, and dother).
