Notes. Normal continuous variables are reported as mean ± standard deviation while non-normal variables are reported as median with first and third quartiles (Q1 and Q3, respectively). Categorical variables are reported as number (percentage).
LV = left ventricular, NFHG AS = normal-flow high-gradient aortic stenosis, NFLG AS = normal-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis, pLFLG AS = paradoxical low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis, RV = right ventricular.
p < 0.05 Compared with NFHG AS.
p < 0.05 Compared with NFLG AS.
