AAO: diameter of ascending aorta; AODd: aorta sinus department diameter; VST: interventricular septal thickness; PWT: left ventricular posterior wall thickness; LAD: left atrial diameter; LVDs: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVDd: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; EF: ejection fraction.
Stepwise regression included the radial artery pulse wave variables and age, sex, BMI, blood pressure and pulse pressure, use of duration time of hypertension, history of taking antihypertensive drug, the controlling condition of blood pressure, and, moreover, use of PWV and ABI (model 3). The partial regression coefficient B, 95% CI of B, and standard regression coefficient β are shown for parameters who entered into the model.
