| Normal (n=25) | Over weight (n=34) | Obese (n=17) | p value (overall) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E (cm/s) | 77.6 ± 13.9 | 78.0 ± 15.3 | 79 ± 16.1 | 0.92 |
| A (cm/s) | 52.6 ± 9.93 | 56.4 ± 10.2 | 58.0 ± 12.5 | 0.58 |
| E/A | 1.51 ± 0.3 | 1.43 ± 0.4 | 1.35 ± 0.3 | 0.15 |
| DT (ms) | 173.6 ± 13.9 | 191.0 ± 19.4 a | 202.2 ± 25.3 b,c | < 0.01 |
| MVPHT (ms) | 63.7 ± 7.8 | 63.2 ± 11.0 | 70.0 ± 14.8 b,c | < 0.01 |
| LAD (cm) | 2.9 ± 0.4 | 3.3 ± 0.4 a | 3.6 ± 0.42 b,c | < 0.01 |
*p < 0.05; for differences between subgroups, E: maximum velocity of passive mitral filling; A: maximum velocity of active mitral filling; DT: deceleration time; MVPHT: mitral valve pressure half-time; LAD: left atrial diameter
