Figure 2 Comparison of the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic dysfunction in patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and normal systemic arterial compliance (SAC) (group 1), patients with moderate AS and reduced SAC (group 2), patients with severe AS and normal SAC (group 3), and patients with severe AS and reduced SAC (group 4). *Significant difference versus group 1; significant difference versus group 2. CI = cardiac index; Dysf. = dysfunction; LV EF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
