Data represent median values with corresponding interquartile range (in parenthesis). Abbreviations: DT—deceleration time of early transmitral flow; E—peak velocity of early transmitral flow; E’—average peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity; LVEDVI-left ventricular end-diastolic volume index; LVEF—left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESVI-left ventricular end-systolic volume index; S’—average peak systolic mitral annular velocity; STEMI—ST-elevation myocardial infarction; WMSI—wall motion score index.
