Figure 2.

(A) Scatter plots of left ventricular mass index (LVMi) vs. serum uric acid (sUA) in the replica population (1,379 patients). The graph shows that LVMi was significantly and directly related with sUA (p = 0.01). (B) LVMi in patients with sUA ≤5.6 mg/dl (left graph) and in patients with sUA >5.6 mg/dl (right graph). The graph shows higher value of LVMi in hypertensives with sUA > 5.6 mg/dl (p = 0.02). *Indicates p < 0.05.
