Entries in first four columns are number (percent) or mean [range]. P value by chi-squared test for categorical variables or ANOVA for continuous variables. LVMI, left ventricular mass index; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; PTH, parathyroid hormone; FGF23, fibroblast growth factor-23; BNP, B–type natriuretic peptide.
