Figure 4 Indexes of Diastolic LV Remodeling in Age-Matched Sham and ACF Rats

Indexes of diastolic LV remodeling in ACF (open circles) at 12 h; 2 and 5 days; and 4, 8, and 15 weeks compared with age-matched shams (closed circles). LVED pressure (A), LVED wall stress () (B), lung wet weight (C), and right ventricular (RV) wet weight (D). Alternating black and white boxes each represent one 24-h period. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n values given in Table 1 except: 4-week sham LVED pressure and LVED (n = 5); 4-week sham lung wet weight and RV wet weight (n = 8); 4-week ACF lung wet weight and RV wet weight (n = 9); 8-week sham lung wet weight and RV wet weight (n = 8); 15-week sham lung wet weight and RV wet weight (n = 12); and 15-week ACF lung wet weight and RV wet weight (n = 9). *p < 0.008 (= 0.05/6) sham versus ACF at each of the 6 time points. Analyses were based on ranks of all the variables in this figure. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
