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
