Figure 5 Distribution of time intervals for the onset and 20% longitudinal and circumferential lengthening of left ventricular subendocardium (A and B) and subepicardium (C and D). Data are shown as mean ± SD. A = apex; B = base; M = mid. *Apex versus base (p = 0.002 and <0.0001, respectively, for onsets and 20% lengthening time intervals in panel A and 0.0004 and 0.008, respectively, for onsets and 20% lengthening time intervals in panel D); mid versus base (p = 0.0005 and 0.01, respectively, for the onsets and 20% lengthening time intervals in panel A); apex versus mid (p = 0.006 and 0.001, respectively, for onset and 20% lengthening time intervals in panel D).
