Laboratory parameters in the recruited patient population.

BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; CI, confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin A1c; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. * N = 107 for females and 100 for males.BNP：B型脑钠肽（brain natriuretic peptide）；CI：置信区间（confidence interval）；CRP：C反应蛋白（C-reactive protein）；HbA1c：糖化血红蛋白A1c（glycated haemoglobin A1c）；HDL：高密度脂蛋白（high-density lipoprotein）；LDL：低密度脂蛋白（low-density lipoprotein）；NGAL：中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白（neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin）。* 女性样本量为107，男性样本量为100。
