Δ, percent increase or decrease from baseline ([baseline value – final value] x 100/baseline value). Values are expressed as mean ± SD; values in parentheses are P values for the differences between final and baseline absolute values, and 95% confidence intervals for the control versus m-TOR group effect.

Abbreviations: LAD, left atrial diameter; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; IVS, interventricular septal thickness; PWT, posterior wall thickness; RWT, relative wall thickness; FS, left ventricular fractional shortening; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; Peak E, peak early diastolic flow velocity; peak A, peak late diastolic flow velocity; E/A ratio, ratio of early to late diastolic flow; DT deceleration time of E wave; LVIRT, left ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time.
