Linearity stability for NTpro-BNP and GRK2 refers to the stability of the logarithm form of these factors.

Abbreviations: NA= not applicable, IQ= interquartile (25°<->75° percentile), COPD= chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, LVEF= left ventricular ejection fraction, NYHA= New York Heart Association, CKD= chronic kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate ≤ 50ml/min), ACE-I= angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor, ARBs= angiotensin receptor blockers, LBBB=left bundle branch block. Bold face= statistically significant factors.
