Multivariate predictors of left ventricular global longitudinal strain: all patients with schizophrenia (n=121)
| Standardised coefficient β | p Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Patient receiving clozapine | 0.25 | 0.01 |
| Heart rate | 0.21 | 0.03 |
| HDL-C level | −0.18 | 0.03 |
Backward selection regression model using a p value cut-off of <0.1, R2=0.22.
Other variables included in the analysis and subsequently removed—neutrophil count, NT-proBNP, body mass index, HsCRP, age, triglyceride level, smoking and diabetes.
HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HsCRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
