From: The relationship between serum sex hormone and cardiac echocardiographic findings in healthy men
Fitted plots for the association between sex hormone (per 1-standard deviation) and LV diastolic function (log-transformed). T tetosterone, SHBG sex hormone binding globulin, LV left ventricle, LAVI left atrial volume index, E peak early diastolic velocity of mitral inflow, A peak late diastolic velocity of mitral inflow, e’ peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity, SD standard deviation. †Predicted value of log-transformed echocardiographic measures (95% CI) for each sex hormones per 1-SD by the linear mixed model adjusted for family and twin as random effects, and smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular physical exercise, hypertension, diabetes, lipid lowering treatment, and non- high density lipoprotein cholesterol level as fixed effects. SHBG was further adjusted in the analysis of total testosterone and total testosterone was further adjusted in the analysis of SHBG as covariate.
