Data are odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI). LV, left ventricular; RV, right ventricular.
↵4-150 Reference class is lowest quartile, p value for improvement among all groups.
↵4-151 Number of coronary arteries with > 50% luminal stenosis. Reference class is 0 vessels, p value for improvement among all groups.
↵4-152 Reference class is “no hypertension”.
↵4-153 Reference class is “< 12 g/day”, p value for improvement among all groups.
↵4-154 The factor did not enter the regression model. History of diabetes did not enter any model and is omitted from the table.
