Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median ± median absolute deviation or n (%). n, number of patients; bpm, beats per minute; BMI, body mass index; BSA, body surface area; MR, magnetic resonance; LV, left ventricle; EDV, end diastolic volume; ESV, end systolic volume; EF, ejection fraction
ap values calculated by the Mann-Whitney U test
bValue is number of patients, with percentage in parentheses
cp value by the chi-square test
dp values by the independent t test
