Figures & data

Table I.  Baseline characteristics of the study population.

Table II.  Heart failure genesis and laboratory parameters in the study population.

Table III.  Levels of cytokines and echocardiographic parameters in the two study groups.

Table IV.  Correlation matrix between different clinical parameters in the entire study population.

Figure 1.  Endothelial progenitor cell subpopulations detected in patients with chronic heart failure divided with and without testosterone deficiency. Shown subpopulations include A: CD34+, B: CD34+CD133+, C: CD34+KDR+ and D: CD34+CD133+KDR+. TD, testosterone deficiency. Data presented as mean ± SD.
