Fig. 3

Exploratory analysis of the association between subclinical LV dysfunction defined as GLS reduction > 10% and V20 of the left ventricle (LV) divided in 3 categories: 0% (reference category, 21 patients, 7 patients with the event); 0% - 15% (mean = 7%, 35 patients, 13 patients with the event); >15% (mean = 19%, 23 patients, 17 patients with the event). Odds ratios are adjusted for BMI, hypercholesterolemia and endocrine therapy. For the highest category, OR = 3.97 [1.01 – 15.70], p=0.045
