Definition of abbreviations: LVDD = left ventricle diastolic dysfunction; LVED = left ventricular end-diastolic; LVES = left ventricular end-systolic; LA = left atrium; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; sPAP = systolic pulmonary artery pressure; TAPSE = tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; E = peak early mitral flow velocity, A = peak late mitral flow velocity; e’ = velocity of mitral annulus early diastolic motion; E/A ratio = ratio of early (E) to late (A) mitral flow peak velocities; E/e’ ratio = left ventricular filling index; DT = deceleration time of the early mitral flow. Values are expressed as mean±standard deviation. *p < 0.05 between non-LVDD and LVDD (type I and type II) groups.
