Skin autofluorescence is associated with inappropriate left ventricular mass and diastolic dysfunction in subjects at risk for cardiovascular disease

Table 3 Stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis to investigate independent factors associated with (a) increased left ventricular mass and (b) observed left ventricular mass/predicted left ventricular mass
