| Age (SD) | 60.22 (9.28) | 61.02 (6.65) | 0.616 |
| BMI (SD) | 27.48 (4.54) | 27.46 (6.01) | 0.977 |
| Medical therapy vs CABG (%) | 308 (51.4) | 13 (37.1) | 0.142 |
| Male gender (%) | 517 (86.3) | 25 (71.4) | 0.029 |

Data presented as mean (SD) for continuous variables and number (percentage) for categorical variables. Patients with and without recovered LVEF at 2 years were compared using t-test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables. OMT refers to patient on OMT at 4 months follow-up.
BMI, body mass index; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; CRT, cardiac resynchronisation therapy; ICD, permanent implanted cardiac defibrillator; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; OMT, optimal medical therapy.
