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.
