DTI, Doppler tissue imaging; AV-plane, atrioventricular plane displacement; RV, right ventricular wall; LVL, left ventricular lateral wall; IVS, interventricular septum; E-wave, early transmitral diastolic flow velocity; A-wave, flow velocity during atrial contraction; DT, deceleration time; PVs, systolic pulmonary vein velocity; PVd, diastolic pulmonary vein velocity; E/E′, a ratio of early transmitral diastolic flow velocity (E) and early diastolic velocity recorded by DTI (E′) in the mitral annulus. *The peak systolic velocity in the lateral part of the mitral annulus was lower in patients after PTX compared to controls, P<0.05.
