Quantitative variables about the clinical and echocardiographic profile of patients with Heart Failure attended at the Cardiology Outpatient Clinic “Amelio Marques” at Hospital das Clínicas of Uberlandia, 2019
| Variables | Average ± SD | Median ± IQ | [CI] | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Time (years) | 5±6 | 3-6 | <0.001 | |
| LVEF (%) | 40.88±11.97 | 38.23-43.52 | 0.297 | |
| Aorta Diameter (mm) | 33.81±3.19 | 33.11-34.52 | 0.193 | |
| Left Atrium Diameter (mm) | 43.12±5.41 | 41.93-44.32 | 0.824 | |
| Diastolic Diameter of the Left Ventricle (mm) | 57±16 | 53-62 | 0.012 | |
| Systolic Diameter of the Left Ventricle (mm) | 45±18 | 40-49 | 0.039 | |
| Intra-ventricular Septum Diameter (mm) | 9±2 | 9-10 | <0.001 | |
| Left Ventricle Posterior Wall (mm) | 9±2 | 9-9 | <0.001 |
p-values in bold indicate that the data do not follow normal distribution (symmetric), so adopted the median to represent them; IQ: interquartile amplitude; SD: standard deviation; IC: Confidence Interval; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction.
