Table 2.
A comparison of flow-related parameters between the control and patient groups. Only subjects that were included per Table 1 were used in these calculations. The hydraulic diameter was calculated as 4*Area/Perimeter. P-values show that the mean and systolic flow values as well as the corresponding Reynolds numbers between the two groups were not statistically significant.
