Figure 5. Comparison of Leaflet Areas & Relationship between VCW and Total to Closure Area Ratio.

Figure 5

(A): Leaflet areas±SD by groups, indicating largest MLAs in MR+ with a disproportionate increased in closure area consistent with tethering. §: p-value<0.05 for the difference between MR+ and MR-. *: p-value<0.05 for the difference from normal. (B): VCW increases as total to closure leaflet area ratio decreases below the normal range at 1.5.
