Data are presented as mean ± SD. Differences between groups were analyzed by the Student t test, as the data were normally distributed. Number of study participants is shown in parentheses.
Abbreviations: IVSd, interventricular septal end-diastole; LAESV, left atrium end-systolic volume; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVIDd, left ventricular internal diameter end-diastole; LVMI, left ventricle mass index.
