Figure 3 Correlation between the changes of procollagen type III aminoterminal peptide (PIIINP) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) after four months of spironolactone treatment in 20 patients with mild-to-moderate congestive heart failure. Delta PIIINP = pretreatment value of PIIINP – the value of PIIINP after four months, delta LVMI = pretreatment value of LVMI – the value of LVMI after four months.
