FIGURE 2 Changes in LVEF before and after surgery for patients
with pre-operative LVEF of >45% and patients with
pre-operative LVEF of <45%.
In the box and whisker plots, the lines across each box represent the
median LVEF; the box represents the interquartile range
(25th–75th percentile) and the I
bars represent the 95% confidence intervals.
