Multivariable Model of Left Ventricular Mass and Late Filling Volume

Independent Variable	LV Mass			Late Filling Volume
	B ± SE	P	R2	B ± SE	P	R2
Aortic stiffness	3.0 ± 0.8	<0.001	0.022	3.9 ± 1.6	0.012	0.018
End-systolic pressure	2.0 ± 0.9	0.021	0.005	2.4 ± 1.6	0.1	0.004

LV mass and late filling volume were log transformed prior to analysis. B values are for the final model with all variables entered. B values were multiplied by 100 to represent % difference in the dependent variable per SD difference in the independent variable. R² represents the change in model R² after each variable entered in the order shown. LV mass final model R²=0.699; late filling volume final model R²=0.468). The model adjusted for sex, age, height, weight, heart rate, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, augmentation index, diabetes, current smoking, cardiovascular disease, treated hypertension, and statin use. LV, left ventricular.
