Myocardial wall thickness in ESC-treated and control group at W4^a

Wall thickness at W4		Septal	Anterior	Lateral	Posterior
ESC-treated	Non-graft (n=2)	1.3 ±0.2	1.5 ±0.1	1.5 ±0.2	1.5 ±0.3
ESC-treated	Engraftment (n=7)	1.3 ±0.1	1.7 ±0.2^*	2.2 ±0.9^*	1.6 ±0.2^*
Controls (n=7)		1.3 ±0.1	1.4 ±0.2	1.2 ±0.3^*	1.2 ±0.1
Wall thickness at D1 (n=16)^b		1.4 ±0.2	1.4 ±0.3	1.5 ±0.2	1.3 ±0.3

Three short axis slices (3 mm apart) with the middle slice at the mid-ventricular level were used. Diastolic wall thickness was measured in septal, anterior, lateral and posterior quadrant using a line connecting the centroid of the LV wall and the vertex of the epicardium border.

Wall thickness measured at D1 from ESC-treated (n=9) and control group (n=7) was combined for comparison with the wall thickness at W4.

P<0.05 compared to the corresponding quadrant at D1.
