Box plot of transmitral flow variables for 88 ALL patients (upper panel) and 66 WT patients (lower panel) studied on two occasions. The first study is represented by open bars and the second study by filled bars. The horizontal lines of the plot mark the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th centiles, and the box encompasses the 25th through 75th centiles. Variables are expressed in standard deviation units (z). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.005; ***p < 0.001; paired t test.
