The multivariable linear regression model is showing coefficients per 300 mmHg-years for cumulative SBP and P-values.

Model 1: unadjusted; Model 2: model 1 + adjusted for age, sex, and race at year 30 examination; Model 3: model 2 + adjusted for physical activity, heart rate, educational level, body mass index, alcohol intake, diabetes, smoke, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol at year 30 examination.

3D, three-dimension; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; EV, emptying volume; LA, left atrium; LSmax, global longitudinal strain; LASra, second negative diastolic peak strain rate; LASre, first negative diastolic peak strain rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure; Vmax, maximum volume; Vmin, minimum volume; VpreA, preatrial contraction volume.
