Figure 5

Box plots of AVJ motion variables in HCM patients and healthy volunteers. The box plots display the sample minimum (lower whisker), lower quartile (lower box subdivision), median (horizontal band), upper quartile (upper box subdivision), and sample maximum (upper whisker) for each of the AVJ motion variables MD, MVED, VDS and VDS/MVED at the lateral and septal AVJs in healthy volunteers and HCM patients. Circles indicate outliers. P ≤ 0.006 for all. AVJ = atrioventricular junction; HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; MD = maximum displacement; MVED = maximum velocity early diastole; VDS = velocity diastasis.
