Relationship between LogNT-proBNP Level and Number of Cardiac Abnormalities at Age 90. Error bars in these box-and-whisker plots show the mean and 95% confidence intervals of LogNT-proBNP at age 90 related to total amount of cardiac abnormalities, including LVEDD > 33 mm/m2, EF < 50%, indexed left atrial volume >40 ml/m2, LV hypertrophy (men > 149 g/m2, women > 122 g/m2), presence of severe mitral regurgitation, presence of severe aortic regurgitation, presence of severe aortic stenosis or PAP ≥ 40 mmHg. * by ANOVA.
