Metabolic Profiling of Patients Undergoing Elective Aortic Aneurysm Repair Surgery: Correlation with Anaerobic Threshold

Figure 5

PCA scores plots of (a) patient 14 (who scored a hAT) (2 PCs, 𝑅²𝑋=0.72 and 𝑄²=0.17) and (b) patient 7 (who scored a lAT) (2 PCs, 𝑅²𝑋=0.84 and 𝑄²=0.19) to show the trajectory of their individual metabolic profiles over time. The hAT patient appears to have recovered faster than the lAT patient.
