  • Quantitative variables are shown as mean±SD.

  • S, patients carrying sarcomeric mutation; G, patients carrying GATA variant; NS, patients not carrying sarcomeric mutation; p value was obtained by multivariate analysis after adjusting by gender and age.

  • BMI, body mass index; LVOTO, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
