Fig. 4From: Assessment of left ventricular energy loss using vector flow mapping in patients with stages 1–3 chronic kidney diseaseLeft ventricular energy loss analysis between CKD subgroups. a EL-IVR, EL-ED, EL-LD and EL-TD in each CKD subgroup were shown in histogram. EL-ED, EL-LD and EL-TD increased in P-HTN. b EL-IVC, EL-EJE and EL-TS in each CKD subgroup were shown in histogram. Compared to other two groups, P-HTN had the high left ventricular EL-TS, EL-IVC and EL-EJE. (&P < 0.05 vs. N-HTN; #P < 0.05 vs. W-HTN)Back to article page
