Changes in Cardiopulmonary Reserve and Peripheral Arterial Function Concomitantly with Subclinical Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Figure 1

Circulating biomarker levels for patients with HFpEF versus healthy control subjects. NT-proBNP: N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide; hsCRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Values are expressed as adjusted geometric mean or adjusted mean ± error. Significantly different from HFpEF values: *𝑃<0.05; **𝑃<0.01; ***𝑃<0.001.
