3D Regression Models of the Association Between SBP and Regional End-Systolic WS Across the Cohort

The regression coefficients are shown in the endocardial surface with positive coefficients indicating increased wall stress (WS) with rising SBP. Yellow contour lines indicate significant regions (p < 0.05) after correction for multiple testing. In areas of septal concentric hypertrophy, the increase in WS is matched by an increase in WT; however, elsewhere there is a significant increase in WS in response to rising SBP. LV projections are Ant and Lat. Abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 4.
