Abbreviation as in Tables 1 and 2

Model 1 included sphericity index, LVEF and age. Model 2 included sphericity index > 0.57, LVEF and age

HR (hazard ratio) refers to the ratio of hazards of the presence of the characteristic to the reference (absence), or to the change of 1 unit (continuous variable)
