Table 1. Anthropometric and echocardiographic data.
The blue coloured area shows the anthropometric data of the two groups with different LVM. The orange coloured data are echocardiographic data of the left ventricle. The green coloured data are the Doppler-flow data. The last two lines are the data of the right ventricle.
