Comparison between baseline and follow-up advanced echocardiographic parameters.
| Advanced Echocardiographic Evaluation | BASELINE (N = 77) | Follow-Up (N = 77) | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| LVGLS (%) | −8.3 ± 4 | −12 ± 4.7 | <0.001 |
| TLAEF (%) | 28.2 ± 14.2 | 32.6 ± 13.6 | 0.013 |
| PALS (%) | 10.3 ± 6.9 | 13.7 ± 7.6 | <0.001 |
LVGLS, left ventricular global longitudinal strain; TLAEF, total left atrial empting fraction; PALS, peak atrial longitudinal strain. In bold p value < 0.05. P values are estimated by student’s t-test.
