Fig. 3

Cross sectional predictors of left ventricular hypertrophy on the basis of wall thickness criteria (interventricular septal thickness or posterior wall thickness ≥ 12 mm). The independent variables entered in the multiple regression model were: age, sex, ESS score, hypoxemia during sleep SaO2, age over 60, AHI (4 categories), BMI (4 categories), NYHA class, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, current smoking, history of MI as well as LVEF lower than 45% and excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS ≥ 10). Model: Hosmer & Lemeshow test χ2 = 8.9 df = 8 p = 0.349; Nagelkerke R2 = 0.213. Abbreviations: ESS = Epworth sleepiness scale, LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; BMI = body mass index; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval
