^*p < 0.05. Group 1: patients with normal sinus rhythm, Group 2: patients with atrial fibrillation. NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, IVS: interventricular septum, LVPW: left ventricular posterior free wall, LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic dimension, LVMI: left ventricular mass index, LA: left atrium, LVOT TVI: left ventricular outflow track time velocity integral, RVSP: right ventricular systolic pressure, PVs: pulmonary vein systolic velocity, PVd: pulmonary vein diastolic velocity, PVs/PVd: ratio of PVs/PVd, E' (average mitral annulus) (m/sec): The average E' of both septal mitral annulus and lateral mitral annulus, E/E': ratio of mitral E-velocity and mitral annular E' velocity, E/E'(average mitral annulus): ratio of mitral E-velocity and average E'
