Figure 1 Stepwise multivariate analysis demonstrating the cumulative effect of age, gender, cardiovascular (CV) disease (dis), ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular mass index (LVMi), and diastolic dysfunction (DD) on left atrial volume index (LAVi) in the population. In the left panel, CV, EF and LVMi, and DD all add to the base model of age and gender for prediction of LAVi. In the middle panel, the addition of EF and LVMi as well as DD add to the base model of age, gender, and CV disease. In the right panel, the addition of DD adds to the base model incorporating age, gender, CV disease, EF and LVMi. *p < 0.001 compared with the base model.
