Figure 7.
(A) Left ventricular mass (LVM) indexed for body surface area (BSA) and myocardial external efficiency (MEE) indexed for BSA. Data shown as mean + standard deviation. * p < 0.05 vs. Controls # p < 0.05 vs. AS before AVR. (B) Scatterplots of correlations between LVMi and MEEi and 4 metabolites of the top 30 metabolic profile that correlate strongly of which 3 show a pattern of normalization towards control after AVR: 9′-carboxy-gamma-tocotrienol (left), 3-polyprenyl-4,5-dihydroxybenzoate (middle) and phenylalanyl-asparagine/asparaginyl-phenylalanine (right).
