From: ACE inhibition attenuates uremia-induced aortic valve thickening in a novel mouse model
Correlation between the thickness and total cross-sectional area of the aortic valve leaflets. In the graphical presentation (A), each point denotes one mouse (Study 2). The thickness of the aortic valve leaflets is the average value of the three thickest leaflets in six sections per mouse. The total cross-sectional area of the aortic valve leaflets is the average value of three sections per mouse. Panels B and C show typical sections from which the measurements were made. In panel (B), each bar denotes the maximal thickness of a leaflet, and in panel (C) the red color shows the area measured to obtain the total area of the three leaflets in one section. N-value, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and P-value are shown.
