The 8 participants who self-identified as “other race” were excluded from these analyses.

In addition to the specified interaction term, the models above were adjusted for age, sex, race, physical activity (average number of blocks walked per day), body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, smoking status, serum fasting glucose, total cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate, anti-hypertensive medication use, left ventricular mass, wall motion abnormalities, ejection fraction, center, speckle-tracking analyst, and image quality.
