Table 4. Comparison between the three studied groups according to LVEF, indexed volumes, and GLS.

This table shows the values of LVEF, GLS, LVEDVi, and LVESVi among the study population.

GLS: global longitudinal strain; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDVi: left ventricular end-diastolic volume indexed; LVESVi: left ventricular end-systolic volume indexed

*: statistically significant; p: p-value for comparing between the three studied groups; p1: p-value for comparing between no dysfunction and mild asymptomatic dysfunction; p2: p-value for comparing between no dysfunction and moderate asymptomatic dysfunction; p3: p-value for comparing between mild and moderate asymptomatic dysfunction
