Fig 1 Mean transprosthetic gradients (mm Hg) by valve size at various time points of the study. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1830-1836DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(01)03603-7)
Fig 2 Effective orifice area index (cm2/m2) stratified by valve size. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) failed to show statistical significance in increment of effective orifice area index over time by valve size.

Fig 3 Mean values ± standard error of left ventricular mass index (LVMI) according to sex. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements showed no significant differences in left ventricular mass index over time between men and women (p = 0.327).
