Fig. 2From: Impact of D-dimer for pathologic differentiation on transesophageal echocardiography in embolic stroke of undetermined source: a single-center experienceComparison in D-dimer levels between patients with and without RLS. Distributions of D-dimer levels in patients without RLS (0.94 ± 0.74 μg/ml), and with RLS (1.37 ± 1.64 μg/ml, A), and RLS with < 20 MBs (1.33 ± 1.66 μg/ml) and with ≥20 MBs (1.61 ± 1.58 μg/ml, B), and RLS without DVT (1.20 ± 1.55 μg/ml) and with DVT (2.99 ± 1.92 μg/ml, C). RLS = right-to-left shunt; MBs = microbubbles; DVT = deep venous thrombosisBack to article page
