Figure 4. Clinical Risk Factors of Carotid Vessel Wall Inflammation in CAD Patients.

Figure 4

This figure shows which CAD risk factors are independent predictors of carotid wall inflammation as depicted by wholevesselSUVmax (A), single hottest segment (B), and percent active segment (C). Percent active segments is defined as the percentage of segments with TBRmax > 1.9. Bars represent standard deviations. p Values for wholevesselSUVmax and for the single hottest segment are adjusted for the other 3 predictors given in Table 2; the p value for the percent active segment is adjusted for the other 2 predictors. Abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 2.
