Table 2. Heart wall thickness on AMCT and PMCT.
AMCT | PMCT | p value | |
---|---|---|---|
Anterior wall of the left ventricle (mm; mean ± SD) | 10.8 ± 2.8 | 17.1 ± 3.3 | < 0.0001* |
Left ventricular free wall (mm; mean ± SD) | 12.1 ± 2.9 | 19.3 ± 3.5 | < 0.0001* |
Posterior wall of the left ventricle (mm; mean ± SD) | 11.7 ± 2.8 | 18.2 ± 3.2 | < 0.0001* |
Ventricular septum (mm; mean ± SD) | 11.5 ± 2.8 | 17.3 ± 3.6 | < 0.0001* |
Right ventricular wall (mm; mean ± SD) | 4.7 ± 2.0 | 7.5 ± 2.6 | < 0.0001* |
Statistical analyses were performed by paired t-test.
SD, standard deviation; AMCT, antemortem computed tomography; PMCT, postmortem computed tomography
