Multiple linear regression analysis is used for continuous echocardiographic measures; ordinal logistic regression is used for categorical echocardiographic measures. Model is adjusted for age, sex, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, ACE inhibitor or ARB use, BMI, SBP,DBP, Hb, K, P, Ca, Alb, TC, TG, Ccr. No significant model was found in LAD, LVEDD, MAP, FS, E/A, PAP, PE
