Fig. 2From: Dietary intervention reduces left atrial enlargement in dogs with early preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease: a blinded randomized controlled study in 36 dogsPercent change from baseline in (a) LA/Ao and (b) LAD at 3 months and 6 months in dogs with MMVD. The horizontal dashed line in each plot denotes baseline values. The bottom, middle, and top lines of the box represent 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles. The whiskers indicate 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box. The p-values from the Student’s t-test are (a) 0.006 and 0.049 and (b) 0.054 and 0.025 respectively. “ns”, P ≥ 0.05, “*”, P < 0.05, “**”, P < 0.01. LA/Ao, left atrial to aortic root ratio; LAD, left atrial diameter; CON, control diet; CPB, cardiac protection blendBack to article page
