  1. Diuretics included loop diuretic, thiazide and tolvaptan.
  2. LAD, left atrial diameter; BMI, body mass index; ACE-I, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin-receptor blocker; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MR, mitral regurgitation; TRPG, tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient.
