IVS;d and IVS;s: interventricular septum (diastole and systole); LVID;d and LVID;s: left ventricular internal diameter (diastole and systole); LVPW;d and LVPW;s: left ventricular posterior wall (diastole and systole); EF%: ejection fraction; FS%: fractional shortening. MV decal rate: mitral valve deceleration rate; HR: heart rate, LV mass/BW: ratio of left ventricular mass to body weight. *P < 0.05 versus TMCM n = 8.
