  • M1: demographics (age and sex).

  • M2: M1+systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive med use.

  • M3: M2+other cardiovascular disease modifiable factors (diabetes mellitus, current smoking and high-density lipoprotein).

  • Values are per 10 min/day of sedentary behaviour.

  • *P value <0.01.

  • E, peak early diastolic transmitral inflow velocities; EDV, end diastolic volume; e′, average of mitral early diastolic septal and lateral annular velocities; EF, ejection fraction; GCS, global circumferential strain; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LAVI, left atrial volume index; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; M, model; RV, right ventricular; RV FAC, RV fractional area change; RWT, relative valve thickness; SV, stroke vol; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; TRV, tricuspid regurgitation velocity.
