p value was the results of Pearson method (for normally distributed date) or Spearman method (for non-normally distributed date). A, transmitral late diastolic filling velocity; A’, late diastolic mitral annulus velocity; E, transmitral early diastolic filling velocity; E’, early diastolic mitral annulus velocity; GSL, global peak systolic longitudinal strain; GSrL, global peak diastolic longitudinal strain rate
