Table 3. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression: predictive factors for the risk of LA Dilation in elderly essential hypertension. The miR-21 variable was log-transformed. Model 1: Adjusted for gender, Scr and LVEF (P < 0.05 factors in Table1 and 2); model 2: Adjusted for gender, Scr, LVEF, RVD, Lp(a), the history of cardiac diastolic dysfunction, cerebral infarction, diabetes mellitu (P < 0.20 factors in Table1 and 2). CI: confidence interval; LA: left atrium; Lp(a): lipoprotein (a); LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; OR: odds ratio; RVD: right ventricle diameter. Scr: creatinine.
