Study population
We recruited 121 subjects with a median age of 60 (IQR: 49-68) years with female predominance (51.2%); previous myocardial infarction was present in 33 (27.3%) cases. Comorbidities and anthropometric evaluations are presented in Table 1 . Using ventricular geometry categorization, we found that the predominant abnormal geometry was eccentric hypertrophy in 31 (25.6%) cases, followed by concentric remodeling in 24 (19.8%) cases and concentric hypertrophy in 12 (9.9%) cases.
