BMI, body mass index; BSA, body surface area; SBP, systolic brachial blood pressure; DBP, diastolic brachial blood pressure; ICT, isovolumetric contraction time; IVRT, isovolumetric relaxation time; E/E´, pulsed MV early peak velocity to pulsed TDI (early diastolic myocardial velocities at the basal segment of the interventricular septum). Mean ± standard deviation is used for normally distributed variables and median (minimum/maximum) for non-normally distributed variables. *P value ≤0.05; **P value ≤0.01; ***P value ≤0.001.
