Associations of PAD with HFpEF and GLS. (A) Associations of prevalent high risks of developing PAD with HFpEF and impaired GLS (≥ − 18%). (B) Associations of impaired GLS of four strata based on the presence of high risks of developing PAD and HFpEF. (C, D) Associations of prevalent high risks of developing PAD with LVEF and GLS tertiles. Prevalent high risks of developing PAD was significantly increased across decreasing GLS rather than LVEF tertiles. PAD, peripheral artery disease; HEpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
