SAP: Serum amyloid P; TGF-β: Transforming growth factor-β; IL-6: Interleukin-6; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; MCP-1: Monocyte chemotactic protein-1; IL-10: Interleukin-10; LVAI: Left atrial volume indexed to body surface area. Figures in the table represent pearson correlation coefficients. Only significant correlations were shown in the table. Figures in bold indicate that the correlations remain signficant after adjusting for age, gender, BMI and family history in a multiple linear regression model.
