Fig. 2From: Cardiac surgical outcome prediction by blood pressure variability indices Poincaré plot and coefficient of variation: a retrospective studya Poincaré plot of a survivor, with the ellipse and derived parameters (SD1 and SD2) b Poincaré plot of a non-survivor, with the ellipse and derived parameters (SD1 and SD2). MAPt– Mean Arterial Pressure at a data point on time series, MAPt + 1– Mean Arterial Pressure at a data point next on time series. SD1- minor semi-axis of the fitted ellipse, SD2- major semi-axis of the fitted ellipseBack to article page
