Values are the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients (r). SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; AP, augmentation pressure; AIx, augmentation index; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; VIF, variance inflation factor.

^†VIF value >4.5.

^*p < 0.05.

^**p < 0.01.

^***p < 0.001 for significant correlations.
