Significant cardiac ultrasound findings.
| Patient | Ejection fraction at baseline (%) | Ejection fraction range (%) | Notable changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 61 | 57–63 | |
| 2 | 59 | 58–64 | C1D1: there was mild eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy. There is mild diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation pattern with normal filling pressure) C2D1: there was mild diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation pattern with normal filling pressure) |
| 3 | 66 | 55–66 | |
| 4 | 65 | 55–65 | |
| 5 | 65 | 60–65 | |
| 6 | 64 | 60–64 | C1D12: grade 3 pericardial effusion, pericarditis, and tamponade |
| 7 | 76 | 76–81 | |
| 8 | 76 | 67–76 | C1D12: mild eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (increased left ventricular mass with normal relative wall thickness) C2D1: (1) small left ventricular cavity size suggestive of an underfilled left ventricle; (2) there is mild diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation pattern with normal filling pressures) |
