Figure 7

Correlation analysis of EL peak angles and SML peak angles. The correlation was calculated between SML and its inner EL (left) and between SML and its outer EL (right). The angles were obtained at the pressure level of (a) 40 mmHg and (b) 100 mmHg, respectively. The peak angle at 90° corresponds to the circumferential direction of the aorta. N, number of specimens; n, the total number of the pairs of SML and EL layers analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed for n.
