Statistical tests were done with ANOVA for continuous variables and χ2 for categorical variables. *N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and HB troponin were based on log transformed results.

Data are presented as mean (SD) or median (Q1–Q3).

ACEi, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; Afib, atrial fibrillation; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; ARNi, angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor; BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HF, heart failure; HHF, hospitalization for heart failure; HR, heart rate; HS, high sensitive; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA, New York Heart Association; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UACR, urine albumin–creatinine ratio.

Statistical tests were done with ANOVA for continuous variables and χ2 for categorical variables. *N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and HB troponin were based on log transformed results.

Data are presented as mean (SD) or median (Q1–Q3).

ACEi, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; Afib, atrial fibrillation; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; ARNi, angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor; BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HF, heart failure; HHF, hospitalization for heart failure; HR, heart rate; HS, high sensitive; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA, New York Heart Association; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UACR, urine albumin–creatinine ratio.
