LVEDV – left ventricular end diastolic volume; LVESD – left ventricular end systolic volume; EF – ejection fraction; IVS(d) – thickness interventricular septum in diastole; IVS(s) – thickness interventricular septum in systole; PW(d)– thickness posterior wall in diastole; PW(s)– thickness posterior wall in systole. Data – mean ± SEM. Statistics – Student’s t-test. Note: Baseline echocardiographic data in this table is the same data listed under baseline in Figs. 7E and S5.
