| ESD, cm | 2.51 (0.45) | 2.72 (0.95) | .10 |
| LVM, g | 202.51 (62.2) | 296.1 (151.8) | <.000 |
| Soluble ST2, ng/mL | 14.5 (4.9) | 23.0 (8.33) | <.001 |
| NT‐proBNP, pg/mL | 341.0 (95.8) | 353.2 (161.4) | .68 |
Abbreviations: EDD, end‐diastolic diameter; ESD, end‐systolic diameter; IVSD, interventricular diameter in diastole; LVM, left ventricular mass; NT‐proBNP, N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide; PWD, posterior wall diameter in diastole; RVD, right ventricular diameter in diastole. P<.05 was considered significant.
