Baseline BP and History of Hypertension and Antihypertensive Use This study found that baseline SBP and DBP did not significantly modify the association of ...
Figure 8. The graph of pulmonary vessels considered in the present work. The number above the vessel indicates the generation in the vessel tree [26]. The pulmonary tree starts from generation 1 corresponding to capillaries and ends with generation 15 corresponding to the main pulmonary artery lea...
Although the median SIPBM value in the two compared groups, 2019 versus 2022, remained at 1000, the percentile value indicates a difference (Table 11). If in 2019 we can say that 25% of cases recorded SIPBM values of 0.5 or lower, in 2022 this threshold dropped to 0.333 of SIPBM. Th...
