Figure 4

Changes in echocardiographic parameters after TAC and de-TAC with the DLC technique and TAC with the Rockman technique. Error bars represent standard error of the mean except in panel d where they represent standard deviation. Time course of (a) LVEDD, (b) PWT, (c) LVED relative radius, (d) LVM, (e) LVEF and (f) MAPSE. LVEDD: Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; PWT: Posterior wall thickness; LVM: Left ventricular mass; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; MAPSE: Mitral annular plane systolic excursion. Measurements presented are the average of three consecutive cardiac cycles. TAC: Transverse aortic constriction. De-TAC: Release of TAC.
