Table 3. Transmitral spectral Doppler and tissue annular Doppler parameters.

^*p < 0.05, ^†p < 0.01, ^‡p < 0.001 vs. normals; ^§p < 0.05, ^∥p < 0.01, ^¶p < 0.0001; AR + PEF vs. AR + REF. AR + PEF: chronic aortic regurgitation and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, AR + REF: chronic aortic regurgitation and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, A: peak atrial filling velocity, E: peak mitral raid filling velocity, s': peak systolic mitral tissue Doppler velocity, e': peak rapid filling mitral annular velocity, TR: tricuspid regurgitation
