Figure 6

Box plots of AVJ motion variables in HCM patients with and without LGE compared to 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 AVJ in healthy volunteers and HCM patients with and without LGE. Circles indicate outliers. Both HCM patients with and without LGE demonstrated statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in MVED, VDS and VDS/MVED at both the lateral and septal AVJ compared to healthy volunteers. AVJ = atrioventricular junction; HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; LGE = late gadolinium enhancement; MD = maximum displacement; MVED = maximum velocity early diastole; VDS = velocity diastasis.
