Continuous variables are expressed as . ¹Chi-squared test, ²ANOVA, and ³Kruskal-Wallis test. HFrEF: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; HFmrEF: heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction; HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HF: heart failure; CAD: coronary artery disease; CMP: cardiomyopathy; MI: myocardial infarction; STEMI: ST-elevation myocardial infarction; NSTEMI: non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction; VHD: valvular heart disease; NYHA: New York Heart Association; BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; MAP: mean arterial pressure; PP: pulse pressure.
