Means ± standard deviations. *P < 0.05, †P < 0.01, ‡P < 0.001 vs. appropriate ICD therapy or all-cause mortality without appropriate ICD therapy. Missing values for sphericity index: n = 2 (no appropriate ICD therapy); n = 1 (appropriate ICD therapy); n = 2 survived or appropriate ICD therapy; n = 1 deceased without appropriate ICD therapy. LV: left ventricle. LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction. Extent of impaired strain: percentage of LV segments with strain > − 15%
