Figure 2 Regression lines (solid line = group 1; dashed line = group 2) show a fairly good correlation between the magnitude of interventricular delay decrease ({Delta}IVD) and magnitude of ejection fraction increase ({Delta}EF) (top) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter decrease ({Delta}LVESD) (bottom) in group 1 (open squares) but not in group 2 (solid triangles) after cardiac resynchronization therapy. {Delta} = follow-up – baseline absolute difference. *p value based on analysis of covariance.
