Figure 1
Dispersion graph showing the individual values of relaxin-2 plasma levels in left atrium and peripheral vein of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) depending on the gender and panel with plasma relaxin-2 concentrations determined. The bracket with the symbol ‘*’ denotes that relaxin-2 plasma levels in peripheral vein are significantly higher than relaxin-2 plasma levels in left atrium in men. The symbol ‘*’ indicates that relaxin-2 plasma levels in peripheral vein of women are significantly elevated than relaxin-2 plasma levels in peripheral vein of men. Horizontal bar represents the median value of relaxin-2 plasma levels in left atrium and peripheral vein of men and women. Plasma relaxin-2 concentrations in left atrium and peripheral vein of patients with AF depending on the gender in the right panel are expressed as median ± interquartile range (IQR). nmen = 59, nwomen = 9. Statistical analysis: Mann–Whitney U test. *p-value < 0.05.
