Correlations between peripheral blood cells and diastolic dysfunction in the whole population

	LAVI	Septal e’	Lateral e’	Mean e’	LVOT gradient
WBC	0.322		-0.331	-0.332	0.326
Neutrophils	0.318		-0.345	-0.337	0.328
Monocytes	0.333	-0.395	-0.409	-0.437

WBC: White blood cells; LAVI: Left atrial volume indexed to body surface area; LVOT: Left ventricular outflow tract. 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.
