Figure 2 Differences of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular functional parameters between systolic heart failure (SHF) (n = 98) and diastolic heart failure (DHF) (n = 62). The box defines the interquartile range with the median indicated by the crossbar. The error bars indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles. EDP = end-diastolic pressure (mm Hg); EDVI = end-diastolic volume index (ml/m2); EDWS = end-diastolic wall stress (kdynes/cm2); SWS = end-systolic wall stress (kdynes/cm2).
