(*) After adjusting for age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, QRS duration, ascending and descending aorta distensibility, arch PWV, end-systolic volume index, body surface area, LV mss index, coronary artery disese severity, scar burden. VVC = ventricular-vascular coupling. (#) Scar burden was assessed using the 17-segment left ventricular model.
