2. Figure 1
Left ventricular mass and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Top: Difference in left ventricular mass (LVM) over 5 years in relationship to urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) at baseline in subjects with complete echocardiographic data and data on urinary ACR ratio (circles and lines: scatter plot and polynomal regression lines (7th order) of ΔLVM versus ACR (r=0.13) with 95% confidence interval). Bottom: LVM at baseline and after 5 years in relationship to ACR at baseline in subjects with complete echocardiographic data and data on urinary ACR (circles and lines: scatter plot and polynomal regression lines (7th order) of LVM at baseline (r=0.16) and LVM after 5 years (r=0.19) versus ACR with 95% confidence interval, respectively).
