Fig. 3.
CVCS based on average serum phosphate levels and the amount of plaque. a Changes in total CVCS from baseline to 18 months in the LP and HP group. b Changes in total CVCS from baseline to 18 months in the LPS group and in the HPS group. c Changes in total CVCS from baseline to 18 months in the LP + LPS and HP + HPS group. Bars indicate the means and error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD). CVCS, cardiac valvular calcification score; LP, low phosphorus group; HP, high phosphorus group; LPS, low plaque score group; HPS, high plaque score group
