Figure 3 Comparison of LV IVS and PW Thicknesses in Recipients of Donor Hearts With and Without LVH

(A) No significant differences of left ventricular (LV) interventricular septum (IVS) wall thickness in recipients of donor hearts with and without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) were obtained at 1- and 5-year follow-ups. (B) At follow-ups (1- and 5-year), wall thickness was similar in patients with donor LVH and those without LVH. PW = posterior wall.
