Figure 4From: Global end-diastolic volume acquired by transpulmonary thermodilution depends on age and gender in awake and spontaneously breathing patients(a) Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) and (b) global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) versus age using a generalized additive model. The continuous line represents the highly significant non-linear relationship for all data (P < 0.0001). The dotted and dashed lines show the 95% confidence interval (CI) for females and males. Single data points are shown with male and female symbols.Back to article page
