Figure 5. Contractility, afterload and ventriculoarterial coupling.

Figure 5

End-systolic elastance (Ees, A), arterial elastance (Ea, B) at baseline and after total aortic arch replacement; and relative changes of ventriculoarterial coupling (VAC, C) in the prosthesis and decellularized allograft groups. All values are given as means ± SEM, *:P<0.05 vs. Baseline
