Secretory profile of ascending aortic SMCs from patients with and without BAV. Abundance of transcripts encoding secreted factors in SMCs cultured from control (C1-C4) and BAV subjects (B1-B10), assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Heat maps were generated from unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Green and red shades represent high and low abundance, respectively. *multiple test-adjusted P < .05.
