Values in italics were estimated by the author from primary data provided in the referenced manuscripts.

EDD – LV end-diastolic dimension; ESD – LV end-systolic dimension; EDVi – LV end-diastolic volume indexed to BSA; EDVi – LV end-systolic volume indexed to BSA; LVEF - LV ejection fraction; WT – wall thickness; LVMI – LV mass index; RWT – relative wall thickness; FS – fractional shortening; LAVi – left atrial volume indexed to BSA; E wave – peak early diastolic transmitral flow velocity; A wave – peak late diastolic transmitral flow velocity; E′ lateral – peak early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity at lateral mitral annulus; E′ septal – peak early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity at septal mitral annulus; TR – tricuspid regurgitation.
