Table 4:
Associations between the regionally-averaged strains in the peripheral LC and inner PPS (n = 99) for inflation from 5-45 mmHg, the sum of the pressure increments 5-10 and 10-45 mmHg. The Emax, Eθθ, and Γmax in PPS regions increased with the same strain components in adjacent LC regions (p ≤ 0.001, n = 99). In addition, Eθθ in PPS regions increased significantly with Err in adjacent LC regions (p < 0.0001, n = 99), and Err in PPS regions decreased with Eθθ in adjacent LC regions (p = 0.08, n = 99).
