A, late diastolic mitral inflow velocity; A′, late diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity; BSA, body surface area; DT, deceleration time; E, early diastolic mitral inflow velocity; E′, early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity; EF, ejection fraction; LAD, left atrial dimension; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LVDD, left ventricular diastolic dimension; LVSD, left ventricular systolic dimension; QRSd QRS duration; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.

a

The alternative hypothesis for this P-value was that there is a difference between the heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and non-heart failure with preserved ejection fraction data group for each variable.

b

The alternative hypothesis for this P-value was that there is a difference between the hospital A (development and internal validation data group) and B (external validation group) for each variable.
