Values are mean ± SEM; E: peak velocity of the early diastolic mitral flow; A: peak velocity of the late diastolic mitral flow; E/A: E divided by A; IVRT: isovolumetric relaxation time; Dec T: mitral flow deceleration time of early filling velocity; e′: mitral annular early diastolic velocity; E/e′: E divided by e′; LV EDP: left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Of note no significant differences were found compare pre and post values within a group
