LA = left atrial; LV = left ventricular; RV = right ventricular

• Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, race, smoking status, and body mass index

• Model 2: adjusted for model 1 covariates plus hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and obstructive sleep apnea

• Model 3: adjusted for model 1 covariates plus hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, obstructive sleep apnea, and LV mass (identical to model 2 except LV mass replaces hypertension)

• Model 4: adjusted for model 2 covariates plus ejection fraction and right atrial pressure

• Model 5: adjusted for model 2 covariates plus ejection fraction and LV end-diastolic volume
