Figure 1. Measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction in patients receiving anthracyclines.

Figure 1

The mean ± the standard error of measures of left ventricular ejection fraction for the participants, (y-axis) and the time course (months) between study acquisitions (x-axis) are shown. Those prescribed statins (black bars) demonstrated no significant decrease in LVEF (p=0.14), whereas those not prescribed a statin (white bars) demonstrated a decrease in LVEF 6 months after receipt of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
