  • MWT and MWT2 in the last two rows of the table adjust for MWT and its square term and similarly for LA5.

  • Age 10, HR for 10-year increments; FS, fractional shortening; LA, left atrial; LA5, HR for LA size for 5 mm increments; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic dimension; LVOT max, maximum LV outflow gradient; MWT, maximal wall thickness; NYHA, New York Heart Association Functional Classification.
