Strengths of association between echocardiographic and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) parameters of left ventricular (LV) size with presence of severe aortic regurgitation (AR, ≥30% regurgitation fraction on CMR). Sex-specific odds ratios (OR) are adjusted for age and presented per 1-SD increase of each parameter. In men, CMR and echocardiographic parameters showed a similar strength of association with severe AR. In female patients, however, this association was markedly lower compared to male patients, especially on echocardiography (p-value for sex-interaction <0.001 for all).
