Main Echocardiographic Parameters in the Two Groups of Patients
| White Matter Lesions Absent (n=161) | White Matter Lesions Present (n=160) | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left ventricular end‐diastolic volume, mLa | 92 [75–110] | 91 [74–112] | .70 |

| Left ventricular ejection fraction, %a | 65 [60–71] | 67 [61–71] | .21 |
| Left ventricular mean wall thickness, cma | 1.11±0.20 | 1.18±0.19 | .001 |
| Relative wall thicknessa | 0.46±0.10 | 0.51±0.10 | <.0001 |
| Left ventricular mass index, g/m2 a | 107 [86–134] | 119 [98–143] | .02 |
| Left atrium, cma | 4.1±0.7 | 4.3±0.8 | .08 |
| Mitral regurgitation | 70 (43.5) | 86 (53.8) | .07 |
| Tricuspid regurgitation | 56 (34.8) | 64 (40.0) | .33 |
| Aortic regurgitation | 34 (21.1) | 58 (36.3) | .003 |
| Aortic stenosis | 7 (4.3) | 18 (11.3) | .02 |
Values are expressed as median [interquartile interval], mean±standard deviation, or number (percentage).
A few values were missing (on average 5 per group).
