Values are presented as mean ± SD. Differences between groups were calculated using Student’s t-test. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDVi, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index; LVESVi, left ventricular end-systolic volume index; LVSVi, left ventricular stroke volume index; ECV, extracellular volume. *indicates a statistically significant difference.
