Figure 2 Absolute and relative concentrations of phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in volunteers (VOL) and in patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD), aortic valve disease (AVD), and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Individual as well as mean ± SD values are shown for each group. Analysis of variance results were as follows: PCr: VOL vs. HHD p = 0.85, VOL vs. AVD p = 0.01*, VOL vs. DCM p < 0.000001*; HHD vs. AVD p = 0.04*, HHD vs. DCM p < 0.00001*, AVD vs. DCM p < 0.03*. ATP: VOL vs. HHD p = 0.96, VOL vs. AVD p = 0.29, VOL vs. DCM p < 0.0003*; HHD vs. AVD p = 0.58, HHD vs. DCM p < 0.002*, AVD vs. DCM p = 0.052. PCr/ATP ratio: VOL vs. HHD p = 0.99, VOL vs. AVD p = 0.26, VOL vs. DCM p = 0.06, HHD vs. AVD p = 0.39, HHD vs. DCM p = 0.11, AVD vs. DCM p = 0.89.
