Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measurements

	Pre-Operative	Unoperated Controls	Post-Operative Unseeded	Post-Operative Seeded
Diastolic area (cm²)	3.91 ± 0.25	11.98 ± 0.56	11.87 ± 0.73	12.01 ± 0.10
Systolic area (cm²)	1.96 ± 0.22	6.03 ± 0.40	6.48 ± 0.45	5.68 ± 0.21
Strain (%)	51 ± 3	50 ± 1.08	45.50 ± 0.84^∗	52.63 ± 2.17^∗

Values are mean ± SE. Diastolic and systolic area and right ventricular outflow tract strain as assessed using cardiac cardiac magnetic resonance before surgery (pre-operative) and 4.5 months thereafter (unseeded and seeded animals). Unoperated adult pigs were used as control subjects.

^∗

p < 0.05 when comparing unseeded control animals vs. unoperated control animals, and seeded vs. unseeded animals.
