From: Abnormal shortened diastolic time length at increasing heart rates in patients with abnormal exercise-induced increase in pulmonary artery pressure

Figure 1

Boxplots of diastolic/systolic time ratios at increasing heart rates (HR, bpm) in patients with (left panel) vs patients without (middle panel) exercise-induced increase in pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Right panel, controls. At intermediate (100 bpm) heart rates an abnormal (< 1) diastolic/systolic time ratio was found in 0/16 (0%) controls, in 7/14 (50%) patients with and 12/93 (13%) patients without abnormal exercise-induced increase in pulmonary artery pressure, p < 0.05 between groups.
