In this table, continuous variables are expressed as median [IQR]. HF = heart failure, CHF = chronic heart failure, eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate, IQR = interquartile range, PT = prothrombin time, SGOT = Serum Glutamooxaloacetate Transferase, SGPT = Serum Glutamopyruvate Transferase, CRP = C-reactive protein, BNP = Brain natriuretic peptide.
