Correlation heatmap of baseline characteristics. ACEI angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB angiotensin II, receptor blockers, CCB calcium channel blocker, MRA aldosterone receptor antagonists, HbA1c glycated hemoglobin A1c, NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, HDL-c high-density lipoprotein, LDL-c low-density lipoprotein, ASCVD atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, SHR stress hyperglycemia ratio, NYHA New York Heart Association. The color represents the Spearman correlation coefficient, (rs, will always take values from− 1 to 1). The brown color indicates a negative correlation, and the blue one indicates a positive correlation. The closer rs is to zero, the weaker the correlation between the two variables will be, and the lighter the color will be. The size of the square and the width of the line represent the significant level in statistics, constructed based on the transformation of Spearman`s P, − log10 (Spearman`s P), with the cutoff points, − log10 (0.00001), − log10 (0.0001), − log10 (0.001), − log10 (0.01), − log10 (0.05). The larger the size of the square is (the wider the line is), the smaller Spearman`s P is
