Abbreviations: Em/Am, the ratio of peak early diastolic motion velocity to peak later diastolic motion velocity of mitral annulus (Em to Am ratio); E/Em, the ratio of transmitral peak velocity of early filling to peak early diastolic motion velocity of mitral annulus (E to Em ratio); HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein. ^a P<.01. ^b P<.05.
