Final regression model of correlates of K1R (N = 122)
| Model parameter | Standardized β coefficient | p value | Incremental R2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | − 0.510 | 0.0001 | 0.441 |
| TPRb | − 0.151 | 0.009 | 0.095 |
| Systolic pressurea | − 0.517 | 0.0001 | 0.053 |
| Gender | 0.267 | 0.0001 | 0.030 |
| Heart ratea | 0.212 | 0.007 | 0.023 |
Total R2 = 0.64 (Model: p < 0.0001)
The potential predictors of K1R included in these procedures were: age, gender, height, weight, SP (as determined from the K2 algorithm), HR, TPR, CO, stiffness index (β), arterial compliance (SV/PP), LVM, LVM index, LVRWT, aortic diameter, CARWT, CIMTd, presence of carotid plaque, and CSA (surrogate for Vascular Mass)
