Values are expressed as mean±SEM; PWTd, posterior wall thickness at end diastole; ESD, end-systolic diameter; EDD, end-diastolic diameter; FS, fractional shortening; E = peak early filling velocity; A=peak velocity of late filling; Edec slope = early deceleration slope; Edec time=early deceleration time; e′ = early mitral annular velocity.
