Figure 4. Rate of myocardial FDG uptake (Ki) according to grade of diastolic dysfunction (DD).

Figure 4

There was a significant stepwise decrease in Ki as the grade of DD increased (p=0.04). Diastolic function was normal in all control subjects. DD was present in 5/9 (55.6%) of those with HTN and no LVH. One of these subjects had moderate DD, the remainder were mild. DD was present in all patients with HTN and LVH. One of these subjects had severe DD, 2 moderate DD, and the 5 were mild. Data are shown as Mean ± SE.
