BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, HDL high-density lipoprotein, HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, hsCRP high sensitivity C-reactive protein, LA left atrium, LV left ventricle, NGM normal glucose metabolism, OR odds ratio, TDI tissue Doppler imaging, TG triglycerides

aModel was adjusted for age, sex, BMI ≥23 kg/m2, baseline glucose metabolism (NGM vs. prediabetes), hypertension, statin therapy, family history of diabetes, smoking status, alcohol intake, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, TG/HDL ratio, and hsCRP. Each echocardiographic variable was tested separately in a multivariate model
