Figure 5 Relation between the expression level of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (IP3 receptor) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the right atrium of all patients and the magnitude of left atrial dimension (LAD) (i), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) (ii) and right atrial pressure (RAP) (iii). The expression level was significantly greater in those patients with a higher LAD or PCWP. The expression level tended to be greater, though not significantly, in patients with a higher RAP. Data are mean ± SD. Compare these results with those for IP3 receptor protein in Figure 2.
