Correlation analysis between BNP, log-transformed BNP and related parameters.
| Age | SBP | DBP | Hemoglobin | Albumin | HsCRP | OH | OH/ECW | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BNP | 0.164 | 0.034 | 0.080 | −0.128 | −0.174* | 0.171* | 0.286** | 0.286** |
| Log-BNP | 0.239** | 0.187* | 0.163 | −0.251** | −0.170* | 0.061 | 0.214* | 0.270** |
NOTE. Analysis performed with Pearson’s product moment correlation.
* Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
Abbreviations: BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; Log BNP: log-transformed B-type natriuretic peptide; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HsCRP: hypersensitive C reactive protein; OH: overhydration; ECW: extracellular water.
