Figure 1 (A) Distribution of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the Study Of Left Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD). Mean is 70 ml/min/1.73 m2, with a standard deviation of 19.3 and n is 6,630. A total of 6.8% of patients had a GFR of <45 ml/min/1.73 m2, 25% between 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, 32.1% between 60 to 75 ml/min/1.73 m2, 21.7% between 75 to 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 and 14.4% >90 ml/min/1.73 m2. (B) Distribution of hematocrit in SOLVD. Mean is 43; SD is 4.49 and n is 6,563. A total of 4.3% of the patients have a hematocrit <35%, 17.5% between 35 and 39, 51.7% between 40 and 45, 23.1% between 45 and 50 and 3.3% > 50.
