Distribution of T cell subsets.

	Ischemic HFrEF	Nonischemic HFrEF	value
Total lymphocytes (IQR)	2811 (2032-3753)	2986 (2260-4507)	0.183
% regulatory T cells within lymphocytes (IQR)	0.42 (0.30-0.68)	0.56 (0.39-0.80)	0.009
% CD4^+ T cells within lymphocytes (IQR)	7.1 (5.2-10.4)	6.3 (4.2-8.3)	0.080
% CD3^+ T cells within lymphocytes (IQR)	71.7 (67.6-76.6)	71.6 (65.8-77.5)	0.707
% CD8^+ T cells within lymphocytes (IQR)	22.9 (17.7-34.2)	22.1 (14.1-32.3)	0.273

Continuous data are presented as median (interquartile range) and were compared between subgroups using the Mann-Whitney test.
