Table 3

Correlation between ANG levels and cardiac risk markers in the patients and controls included.

Association with levels of plasma ANG (ng/mL)	Spearman’s correlation coefficient	Sig. (two-tailed)
Age (years)		0.7900
Fasting plasma glucose; (mmol/L)	0.0948	0.0143
Serum cholesterol; (mmol/L)	0.0683	0.0775
Serum triglycerides; (mmol/L)	0.2045	<0.001
hs-CRP	0.1257	0.0103
NT-proBNP (pmol/L)	0.2818	<0.001
LVEF		<0.001

NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction.
