Values are presented as mean (standard deviation). One way ANOVA with repeated measures was used to assess the change in values over time. * = p < 0.05 compared with previous day measurement;
= p < 0.05 compared with Day 1 measurement (with Bonferroni adjustment).
PAAT, pulmonart artery acceleration time
RVET, right ventricle ejection time
