Groups were compared by independent t test. Values were expressed as mean standard deviation.
p<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. P values less than 0.05 are in bold. LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; EF: ejection fraction; LAEDV: left atrium end-diastolic volume; LAEDVI: left atrium end-diastolic volume index; LVEDV: left ventricle end-diastolic volume; LVEDVI: left ventricle end-diastolic volume index; LVM: left ventricular mass; LVMI: left ventricular mass index; PAP: pulmonary artery pressure
