LVM, left ventricular mass; LVMi, left ventricular mass index; LV, left ventricular; IVST, interventricular septum thickness; LVFW, left ventricular free wall; RVFW, right ventricular free wall; RV, right ventricular. Values are presented as frequencies (%) and the mean ± standard deviation. ∗It means the difference between male and female patients is significant (p < 0.05).
