Fig. 3From: Comparison of the effects of lanthanum carbonate and calcium carbonate on the progression of cardiac valvular calcification after initiation of hemodialysisCVCS 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 groupBack to article page
