Predictive Value of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in the Development of Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis

Figure 3

The serum concentration of MCP-1 shows differences between PsA patients without diastolic dysfunction (DD) and with DD (grade 1 and grade 2) (a), and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) for MCP-1 concentration at the optimal cut-off value of 347.6 pg/mL for the diagnosis DD in PsA patients () with respect to PsA patients without DD (). Levels of statistical significance obtained in the Mann–Whitney test (a) and receiver operating characteristic analysis (b) are indicated in the plots.
