  1. Values are mean ± SD. BMI = body mass index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; ACEI = angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; Log PAC = log-transformed plasma aldosterone concentration; Log PRA = log-transformed plasma renin activity; Log ARR = log-transformed aldosterone to renin ratio.
