Figure 1. Canonical Discriminant Analysis: ADHF Versus Non-HF Controls
Canonical discriminant analysis using 5 selected mass scanning ion peaks was performed in a training cohort of 25 acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) subjects (blue) and 16 controls (red). This ADHF “breathprint” was then used to classify an independent validation cohort of 36 ADHF subjects (green) with no misclassifications.
