Figure 1 Scattergram illustrating the relationship between baseline arterial endothelin (ET) concentration and percentage fall in coronary vascular resistance during rapid atrial pacing in men and women; dashed lines represent simple regression plots for women (circles) (R2 = 0.34; p = 0.06) and men (squares) (R2 = 0.62; p = 0.11).
