Note: The above structured data are all cases of ’yes’. BMI: body mass index; LV: left ventricle; NT-proBNP: N-terminal of the prohormone brain natriuretic peptide; ECG: electrocardiogram; LDL: low density lipoprotein. An asterisk (*) with a p-value less than 0.001 indicates a statistically significant difference in the variable between the survival and death groups. The information in the table is presented as n (%) and median value (IQR). The qualitative indicators of the data are expressed as the proportion of the population (missing values are not counted), and the quantitative indicators are expressed as the median and the first quartile (Q1) and third quartile (Q3) of the data (25–75%).
