Figure 3 Comparisons of PWV
Scatter plots (left) and Bland-Altman plots (right). All of the carotid-femoral PWVs obtained with the body surface length measurements were significantly and linearly associated with that obtained by PWVMRI. The PWV estimated with the (car-fem) – (ssn-car) equation was the closest to the line of identity in relation to the PWVMRI with the mean ± SD difference of 35 ± 41 cm/s. car = carotid artery; fem = femoral artery; ssn= suprasternal notch; umb = umbilicus; other abbreviations as in Figure 2.
