Results from linear regression analysis according to several models: a sex-adjusted model; a model with additional adjustment for age, height, weight, and active smoking; a model with additional adjustment for systolic blood pressure and heart rate; and a model with additional adjustment for LVEDD and relative wall thickness. Parameters of diastolic function (E, A, e′, and a′) were used as dependent variables; TSH, FT4, FT3 and TT3 were independent variables.
