Data are presented as median and (interquartile range)
LA LVEDV and LV mass are indexed by body surface area, ns not significant, LA left atrium, LVEDV left ventricular end-diastolic volume, LV left ventricle, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, MAPSE mitral annular plane systolic excursion, E transmitral E-wave velocity, eʹ early diastolic mitral annulus velocity
