Figure 2

Comparison of LV diastolic function between subjects with low and high levels of FABP4 in tertiles of BMI. Peak myocardial velocity during early diastole (e’), an index of LV diastolic function, was compared between subjects with low and high levels of FABP4 divided by median value of FABP4 levels (FABP4-Low and FABP4-High, respectively) in tertiles of body mass index (BMI). Tertile of BMI consists of low (<21.4 kg/m2; n = 63), middle (≥21.4 and <24.4 kg/m2; n = 63), and high (≥24.4 kg/m2; n = 64) groups. *P < 0.05 vs. FABP4-Low. †P < 0.05 vs. FABP4-Low in BMI (Low).
