Correlations between repetitive NT-proBNP measurements of the 38 patients and the respective echocardiographic parameters in the general cohort as well as in patients with or without left ventricular hypertrophy.

	All Measurements n = 72	Without LVH n = 25	With LVH n = 47
IVS thickness	r = 0.641; p < 0.001	r = 0.243; p = 0.276	r = 0.678; p < 0.001
Right atrial diameter	r = 0.521; p < 0.001	r = −0.379; p = 0.082	r = 0.684; p < 0.001
Aorta ascendens diameter	r = 0.409; p < 0.001	r = 0.146; p = 0.516	r = 0.338; p = 0.031
Right ventricular diameter	r = 0.009; p = 0.943	r = −0.413; p = 0.056	r = 0.076; p = 0.622
Left ventricular diameter	r = −0.104; p = 0.401	r = −0.288; p = 0.194	r = −0.06; p = 0.696
sPAP	r = 0.76; p < 0.001	r = 0.154; p = 0.651	r = 0.865; p < 0.001

IVS, interventricular septal thickness; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure. Bold indicates statistical significance.
