ANCOVA of LV systolic function indices, which differed significantly in the unpaired tests (Mann–Whitney) between healthy controls and CAD patients. ANCOVA was adjusted for age, gender, and BMI, and the results are shown as the estimated marginal means (EMM) and standard error (SE).
| Parameter | Control Group | CAD Patients | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLPSS, EMM (SE) | −18.39 (0.47) | −16.64 (0.45) | 0.0105 |
| GWE, %, EMM (SE) | 93.40 (0.77) | 90.90 (0.73) | 0.0255 |
| GWW, mmHg%, EMM (SE) | 109.00 (13.20) | 153.96 (12.48) | 0.0187 |
| LVEF-1, %, EMM (SE) | 36.65 (1.45) | 23.26 (1.37) | <0.0001 |
Abbreviations: EMM—estimated marginal mean, GLPSS—global longitudinal strain, GWE—global work efficiency, GWW—global work wasted, LVEF-1—first-phase left ventricular ejection fraction, SE—standard error.
