TABLE 4.
Summary of all correlation results between the collagen content and the mechanical properties of all LV and RV samples.
| M Low_L | M/ε Low_L | M High_L | M/ε High_L | M Low_C | M/ε Low_C | M High_C | M/ε High_C | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Col I | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | p = 0.07 |
| Col III | * | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS |
| Col T | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | NS | * |
* p <0.05.
Col I, Col III and Col T are the collagen type I, III and total collagen, respectively. L and C are longitudinal and circumferential directions, respectively.
NS, no significance.
