Figure 3From: Plasma CCN2/connective tissue growth factor is associated with right ventricular dysfunction in patients with neuroendocrine tumors Relationship between plasma connective tissue growth factor and right ventricular function. Box plot demonstrating the relationship between plasma connective tissue growth factor (CCN2) levels and right ventricular (RV) function. Median, interquartile ranges, and maximum and minimum values are shown. Due to the presence of extreme outliers, plasma CCN2 levels are plotted on the y-axis using a logarithmic (log10) scale. Plasma CCN2 levels (μg/L) are significantly elevated in the patients with reduced RV function (strain > -20%), (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.001).Back to article page
