Figure 4. Pulmonary vascular distensibility predicts cardiovascular mortality in heart failure patients.

Figure 4

Kaplan-Meier survival curves of HF patients (n=103, both HFpEF and HFrEF) are depicted, dichotomized by pulmonary vascular distensibility value. Compared to those with lower PV distensibility, HF patients with a distensibility ≥0.70% per mmHg exhibit reduced cardiovascular mortality (P=0.03).
