Echocardiographic data after 6 months.
| Variables | Left ventricular remodeling | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes (n=38) | No (n=28) | ||
| LA (mm) | 43.0 (40.0–47.0) | 40.8 (39.0–42.5) | 0.027 |
| LVDD (mm) | 52.6 (49.1–57.0) | 50.0 (48.0–51.0) | 0.007 |
| LVSD (mm) | 36.6 (34.1–44.0) | 32.0 (30.2–35.7) | <0.001 |
| E′ wave (cm/s) | 9.0 (8.0–11.0) | 11.0 (9.3–11.0) | 0.013 |
| EF (%) | 45.0 (40–48) | 53.0 (49–61) | <0.001 |
LV – left ventricle; LA – left atrium; LVDD – LV end-diastolic dimension; LVSD – LV systolic dimension; E′ wave – early diastolic mitral annulus velocity (average of septal and lateral walls); EF – ejection fraction. Data are expressed as the mean ±SD or the median (including the lower and upper quartiles).
