LVMI: left ventricular mass index; LVEDV: left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESV: left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; LAD: left atrial diameter; LVSV: left ventricular stroke volume; E/A ratio: ratio of E wave (peak early diastolic flow velocity) and A wave (peak late diastolic flow velocity); E/E' ratio: a ratio of peak early transmitral flow velocity (E) to peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E').
