Table 1. Hemodynamic data

SP, DP, PP, and MP: systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean pressure, respectively. MD, mean internal diameter. Values are means ± SD. P values determined by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Bonferroni test. ^aWith respect to Groups I, II, and III: P

	E (106 dyn/cm2)	η (104 dyn.s/cm2)
Group I	3.96 ± 1.01	11.10 ± 3.09
Group II	4.81 ± 1.02	8.53 ± 1.50
Group III	4.45 ± 1.33	10.00 ± 3.12
Group IV	687.59 ± 121.52a,b,c	0.06 ± 0.01a,b,c

E, elastic modulus; η, viscous modulus; Values are means ± SD. P values determined by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Bonferroni test.
^a With respect to Group I: P 
^b With respect to Group II: P 
^c With respect to Group III: P
