6MWT: six-minute walk test; GLS, global longitudinal strain; hsCPR, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; IL6, interleukin 6; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MCP1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; RV, right ventricle; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. * Variables with non-normal distribution. Spearman test was used.
