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 |
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.
