Serum-Free Thyroxine Levels Were Associated with Pulmonary Hypertension and Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure in Euthyroid Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Table 5
Multiple linear regression analysis for pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PASP: pulmonary artery systolic pressure; BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; FT4: free thyroxine; FT3: free triiodothyronine; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; CCB: calcium channel blockers; ACEI & ARB: ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Independent variables included in the original model are as follows: model 1: FT3, gender, age, BMI, smoking, LVEF, SBP, history of hypertension, CCB, ACE & ARB, and nitrates; model 2: FT4, gender, age, BMI, smoking, LVEF, SBP, history of hypertension, CCB, ACE & ARB, and nitrates; and model 3: TSH, gender, age, BMI, smoking, LVEF, SBP, history of hypertension, CCB, ACE & ARB, and nitrates. . |
