Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation, or %. The averages of continuous
variables were compared using either the two-tailed student’s t test. Fisher’s
exact test was used to compare the proportions of categorical variables between
groups. 6MWD, 6-minutes walking test distance; ACEI, angiotensin-converting
enzyme inhibitor; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase;
ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; AVA, aortic
valve area; BMI, body mass index; BNP, Brain natriuretic peptide; BUN, blood
urea nitrogen; CRP, C-reactive protein; EF, ejection fraction; eGFR, estimated
glomerular filtration rate; γ-GTP, glutamyl transpeptidase; HbA1c, glycated
hemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LAD, left atrial
diameter; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LV, left ventricle; NYHA,
New York Heart Association; PG, pressure gradient; SAVR, surgical aortic valve
replacement; STS, Society of Thoracic Surgeons; TAVR, transcatheter aortic
valve replacement; T-Cho, total cholesterol.
