Table summarized the T2∗ relaxation time from partitions of myocardium for each age and sex groups, respectively. Data are presented as means (standard deviations). The unit of T2∗ relaxation time is in msec.
a
Age Young versus age Middle-aged in all, p value = 0.037.
b
Age Young versus age Old in all, p value = 0.027.
c
Age Young versus age Middle-aged in all, p value = 0.014.
