Annual change in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), volumes and mass
| Parameter | Month 0 | Month 12 | Mean difference | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVEF (%) | 70.3 ± 6.9 | 71.2 ± 6.4 | 0.9 ± 4.3 | 0.18 |
| LV end-diastolic volume (ml) | 121.2 ± 28.2 | 121.3 ± 26.9 | 0.1 ± 10.4 | 0.91 |
| LV end-systolic volume (ml) | 37.0 ± 14.7 | 35.8 ± 13.7 | −1.2 ± 6.6 | 0.26 |
| LV mass (g) | 111.4 ± 31.7 | 109.5 ± 32.0 | −2.0 ± 8.6 | 0.14 |
Data are mean ± standard deviation. Changes in LV parameters were compared using a paired Student's t-test.
