Association between UACR and Cardiac Indices for Participants with UACR < 30 mg/g on Multivariable-Adjusted Linear Mixed Effects Models^*

	Change in index per doubling in UACR and 95% CI (N=1722)	P-value
Global longitudinal strain, %	−0.21 [−0.32, −0.10]	<0.001
Global circumferential strain, %	−0.25 [−0.43, −0.08]	0.005
Global radial strain, %	−0.33 [−0.76, 0.08]	0.12
e′ velocity, cm/s	−0.04 [−0.09, 0.01]	0.09
E/e′ ratio	0.47 [−0.21, 1.16]	0.18

^*Adjusted for speckle-tracking analyst, study site, image quality, age, sex, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive medication, history of smoking, left ventricular mass index, and ejection fraction. UACR = urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. CI = confidence interval
