4. Fig 3
The percentage change in the shunt (Qp/Qs) ratio compared with the percentage change in mean transit time (MTt; solid circle) and down slope time (DSt; open square) with an open and closed shunt. The linear correlation is r=0.95 (P<0.001) for the MTt and r=0.96 (P<0.0001) for the DSt. The inverse correlation between the percentage change of Qp/Qs and CO (open triangle) is r=−0.84 (P<0.0001).

Bland–Altman plots with closed (a) and open shunt (b). COTPTD and COMPA are the measurements of CO by the TPTD method and perivascular flow probe around the main pulmonary artery, respectively.
