From: High Serum Uric Acid is Highly Associated with a Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Rather than Increased Plasma B-type Natriuretic Peptide in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases

Figure 3

Path models from A-1 to D-4 were dependent on the gender difference, ageing, BMI, and creatinine (the groups quartered by each value) The path has a coefficient showing the standardized coefficient of a regressing independent variable on a dependent variable of the relevant path (UA to Log BNP; UA to LVEF; LVEF to Log BNP). These variables are standardized regression coefficients (direct effect) with P values if statistical significance was present, squared multiple correlations [on the upper right side of rectangles (in italics)] and correlations among exogenous variables. The positive regression coefficients are indicated as blue-colored values, and the negative regression coefficients are indicated as red-colored values. Uncolored values denote P values less than 0.05. BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; UA, uric acid; e, extraneous variable.
