2. Fig 1
Schematic representation of the mitral and aortic annular marker arrays used in the study. (AML = anterior mitral leaflet; L = left aortic cusp; LFT = left fibrous trigone; NC = noncoronary aortic cusp; PML = posterior mitral leaflet; R = right aortic cusp; RFT = right fibrous trigone.)

3. Fig 2
Group mean mitral annular area (solid squares), aortic annular area (open squares), and left ventricular pressure (LVP solid line) throughout the cardiac cycle for 7 animals at baseline. A 650 ms time window centered at end diastole (ED) (dashed vertical line at t = 0) is illustrated for all variables. Error bars indicate one standard error of the mean. (LVP= left ventricular pressure.)

4. Fig 3
Group mean total annular circumference (top), fibrous annulus length (middle), and muscular annulus length (bottom) for mitral annulus (solid squares), and aortic annulus (open squares) throughout the cardiac cycle for 7 animals at baseline. Left ventricular pressure (LVP) tracing (solid line) is shown in each panel. A 650 ms time window centered at end diastole (ED) (dashed vertical line at t = 0) is illustrated for all variables. Error bars indicate 1 standard error of the mean.

5. Fig 4
Group mean aorto-mitral angle (solid squares), left ventricular pressure (LVP) (solid line), and left ventricular (LV) volume (dashed line) throughout the cardiac cycle for 7 animals at baseline. A 650 ms time window centered at end diastole (ED) (dashed vertical line at t = 0) is illustrated for all variables.

6. Fig 5
Group mean mitral annular area (squares) and aortic annular area (circles) throughout the cardiac cycle before calcium (Ca) infusion (closed symbols) and after Ca infusion (open symbols) (top), sodium nitroprusside (Snp) infusion (middle), or neosynephrine (Neo) infusion (bottom). A 650 ms time window centered at end diastole (ED) (dashed vertical line at t = 0) is illustrated for all variables.

Group mean aorto-mitral angle throughout the cardiac cycle before calcium (Ca) infusion (solid squares) and after Ca infusion (open squares) (top), sodium nitroprusside (Snp) infusion (middle), and neosynephrine (Neo) infusion (bottom). A 650 ms time window centered at the end-diastole (ED) (dashed vertical line at t = 0) is illustrated for all variables.
