Values represent means ± SD, median (minimum-maximum). LA: left atrium; RA: right atrium; LVDD: left ventricle diastolic diameter; LVSD: left ventricle systolic diameter; S: interventricular septum; PW: posterior wall; RVDD: right ventricle diastolic diameter; AoR: aortic root; AoA: aortic annulus; LVESV: left ventricle end systolic volume; LAV: left atrial volume; RAV: right atrial volume; PSP: pulmonary systolic pressure; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction. ∗ p < 0.05 (Student's t-test), † p < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test).
