Data are given as mean ± standard deviation or as numbers and percentages in parentheses per total of 1007 subjects; * LVMI, left ventricular mass index according to Baessler et al. [32]; † LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy according to de Simone et al. [31] definitions LVMI ≥ 50 g/m2.7 in men and ≥47 g/m2.7 in women; LA, left atrial diameter; LVED, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVES, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; E/A, ratio of early filling velocity (E) and peak late filling velocity (A); IVST, interventricular septum thickness; PWT, posterior wall thickness; RWT, relative wall thickness.
