Figure 3. — Inflammation and dysglycemia are associated with myocardial tissue remodeling in obese adolescents. Myocardial ECV is associated with high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein and triglycerides (markers of systemic inflammation and visceral adiposity), as well as hemoglobin A1c (marker of dysglycemia). A linear fit using a least‐squares (Spearman) correlation was used, utilizing a log‐transformed dependent variable (biomarker). A Loess spline was added to the figure to illustrate the nonuniform increase of ECV with BMI. The symbol ρ refers to Spearman's rank correlation. ECV indicates extracellular volume fraction; BMI, body mass index.
