Pearson correlation analysis was used to measure the correlation between variables. ** Indicates correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed); * indicates correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). BMI – body mass index; DM – diabetes mellitus; SBP – systolic blood pressure; EFT – epicardial fat thickness (long-axis end-systole); LA – left atrial; LVEF – left ventricular ejection fraction; BNP – B-type natriuretic peptide; Cr – creatinine; BUN – blood urea nitrogen. |
