Clinical correlates of borderline LVEF
| Characteristic | Odds ratio [OR] (95% CI) |
p value |
|---|---|---|
| Age, per 10 year increment | 0.73 (0.65, 0.82) | <0.0001 |
| Women | 0.57 (0.46, 0.71) | <0.0001 |
| Prevalent CVD | 2.13 (1.56, 2.91) | <0.0001 |
| Diabetes | 1.72 (1.21, 2.45) | 0.003 |
| SBP, per 20 mm Hg increment | 1.22 (1.04, 1.43) | 0.013 |
| DBP, per 10 mm Hg increment | 1.18 (1.03, 1.36) | 0.022 |
| Hypertension treatment | 0.63 (0.48, 0.83) | 0.001 |
CVD = cardiovascular disease. DBP = diastolic blood pressure. LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction. SBP = Systolic blood pressure.
Odds ratios are presented in relation to LVEF>55% group (referent).
