Correlations between LA deformation parameters andNTproBNP &conventional echocardiographic measures, which demonstrate raised left ventricular filling pressures

	εR		εCT		LASI
	r	p value	r	p value	r	p value
NTproBNP	-0.226	< 0.001	-0.213	< 0.001	0.342	< 0.001

LAVI	-0.066	0.103	-0.139	0.001	0.177	< 0.001
VTR (m/s)	-0.105	0.022	-0.076	0.096	0.183	< 0.001

Correlation between LASI and E/e’ does not apply since E/e’ is used to calculate LASI
