Spearman partial correlation adjusted for age and sex was used to examine the relationships between inflammatory markers associated with oxidative stress and echocardiographic parameters.

IL, interleukin; MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; IVSd, interventricular septum diameter; PWd, posterior wall diameter; LV, left ventricular; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RWT, relative wall thickness.

^aP<0.05, after adjustment for age and sex.
