Comparison of echocardiographic measurements between HF patients and Non-HF individuals.
| Parameter | HF (n = 45) | Non-HF (n = 45) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| LVEF (%) | 35 (20–50) | 60 (55–65) | <0.001a |
| LVESD (mm) | 43.58 ± 8.04 | 35.69 ± 4.03 | <0.001b |
| LVEDD (mm) | 53.02 ± 8.34 | 46.42 ± 3.74 | <0.001b |
| LAD (mm) | 42.56 ± 6.47 | 33.24 ± 3.87 | <0.001b |
| IVS diameter (mm) | 12 (11–13.5) | 11 (10–12) | 0.021a |
| PW thickness (mm) | 11 (9.5–12.5) | 8 (8–9.5) | <0.001a |
| IVC diameter (mm) | 15.42 ± 2.71 | 14.67 ± 2.21 | 0.152b |
| PAB (mmHg) | 25 (0–47.5) | 16 (0–10) | <0.001a |
| TAPSE (mm) | 16.87 ± 3.48 | 26.00 ± 3.67 | <0.001b |
Data are presented as mean ± SD, or median (min-max).
Bold indicates statistically significant values.
HF, heart failure; IVC, inferior vena cava; IVS, interventricular septum; LAD, left atrial diameter; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LAD, left atrial diameter; PAP, pulmonary arterial pressure; PW, posterior wall; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
