Variables associated with increased cardiovascular mortality by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Variables		Cardiovascular Mortality (N = 17)
		HR (95% CI)	P-value
		Univariate Cox Regression Analysis
TCRT	Continuous	1.018 (1.004–1.031)	0.010
	>100°	4.443 (1.447–13.638)	0.009
GLS		1.144 (1.012–1.293)	0.031
Troponin I		1.005 (1.000–1.010)	0.046
Prevalent CAD		2.755 (1.063–7.145)	0.037
		Multivariate Cox Regression Analysis∗
TCRT	Continuous	1.016 (1.002–1.030)	0.029
	>100°	3.506 (1.118–10.995)	0.031

CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, confidence interval; GLS, global longitudinal strain; N, number of patients; TCRT, total cosine R to T expressed in degrees.

^∗GLS was not included in the multivariate model together with TCRT due to autocorrelation.
