Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Emax = maximum early transmitral filling velocity; Amax = maximum late transmitral filling velocity; E/A = early-to-late transmitral filling ratio; Edectime = early-filling deceleration time; e’ = early mitral annular velocity; E/e’ = early transmitral filling velocity-to-mitral annular velocity; late mitral annular velocity; IVRT = isovolumic relaxation time.
