Figure 4 Relationship Between Baseline ESR and Change in Aortic PWV Following Ezetimibe and Simvastatin

The change in aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) following drug treatment was significantly associated with the baseline erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR); r = –0.416; p = 0.008. Solid circles = ezetimibe; open circles = simvastatin.
