Regional fractional anisotropy in systole and diastole, mean ± SD

Fractional Anisotropy	N = 43	p value
Systolic:		ANOVA: F = 5.21, p = 0.003
Lateral	0.46 ± 0.05	Reference
Anterior	0.48 ± 0.05	p = 0.017
Inferior	0.48 ± 0.06	p = 0.007
Septal	0.46 ± 0.07	p = 1.0
Diastolic:		ANOVA: F = 16.0, p <0.001
Lateral	0.52 ± 0.07	Reference
Anterior	0.59 ± 0.05	p < 0.001
Inferior	0.59 ± 0.05	p < 0.001
Septal	0.54 ± 0.09	p = 0.004

Values are Bonferroni corrected and therefore a p value of p < 0.05 was taken as the level of significance
