Figure 4 The relation of age, cardiovascular risk factors and specific aortic elastance. In a cohort with a moderate number of risk factors (A) and with the age distribution given in C that reflects the referral pattern for cardiologic examination, specific aortic elastance spans a wide range (B). Specific elastance does not simply reflect age (E) or the number of risk factors (D).
