Fig. 3. Pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) as biomarker for vascular stiffness as a function of age for the chemotherapy (CT) group and the control group.
Orange line represents the CT group and blue line the control group. Corresponding linear regression lines were based on regression coefficients for age calculated in the multivariate model correcting for other predictive variables. ∆cf-PWV at age 70 amounts to 2.03 m/s. For CT: 10(0.475 + (7.590 × 10–3 × Age)). For CO: 10(0.627 + (4.035 ×10–3 × Age)). Slopes differ significantly (p = 0.03).
