Figure 2 (A) Relationship between regional left ventricular (LV) function and smoking status. The relationship between strain and smoking status presented here is unadjusted. White bars = non-smokers; ruled bars = former smokers; black bars indicate current smokers. There is a reduction (absolute) of circumferential strain (Ecc) in left anterior descending (LAD) and right coronary (RCA) in current smokers, as compared with former and non-smokers. Mean + SE are shown. (B) Relationship between cigarette consumption (pack-years) and regional LV function. The relationship between strain and pack-years presented here is unadjusted. White bars = non-smokers (0 pack-years); ruled bars, gray bars, and black bars = 1 to 19, 20 to 39, 40 and more pack-years, respectively. Testing for trend is significant for the LAD and RCA territories. Mean + standard error (SE) are shown.
