Clinical characteristics and NT-proBNP
There was no obvious difference among the three groups of participants
in the age, gender, BMI, BP and HR (all P>0.05). In terms of level of
NT-proBNP, group C was the highest among three groups, and group B had
higher NT-proBNP level than that in group A (all P<0.05). LVEDP was
increased in groups B and C, and LVEDP was increased in group C compared
with group B (P < 0.05).(Shown in Table 1)
