BMI: body mass index, systolic BP: systolic blood pressure, diastolic BP: diastolic blood pressure, BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide, IL-6: interleukin-6, TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor α, LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction, RAP: right atrial pressure, PAP: pulmonary artery pressure, and PCWP: pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; significant correlation is bolded. Correlation is significant at the level 0.05 (2-tailed).
