FIGURE 3. Estimated Change in Maximum Aortic-Root Z-Score (ARz) By Baseline Aortic-Root Elastic Modulus and Stiffness Index.
a. Estimated Change in ARz by Baseline Aortic-Root Elastic Modulus Estimated change in maximum aortic-root z-score (ARz) with pointwise 95% confidence bands, for at or below median (blue) vs. above median (red) baseline aortic-root elastic modulus groups. AR = aortic root.
b. Estimated Change in ARz by Baseline Heart Rate-Corrected Aortic-Root Stiffness Index. Estimated change in maximum aortic-root z-score (ARz) with pointwise 95% confidence bands, for at or below median (blue) vs. above median (red) baseline heart rate-corrected aortic-root stiffness index groups. AR = aortic-root; sqrt = square root
