Values are means ± standard deviation. P value = normal HRR group versus abnormal HRR group. ACEI = angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; bpm = beats per minute; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; E/Ea ratio = ratio of early transmitral flow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity; HRR = heart rate recovery
