BMI—body mass index, SBP—systolic blood pressure, DBP—diastolic blood pressure, LVEF—left ventricular ejection fraction, NT-proBNP—N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide; * the comparisons were made using the chi-square test; the Student t-test was used for the variables showing the parametric distribution; the Mann–Whitney U test was used for the nonparametric data.
