Comparison of 2D echocardiography-derived left ventricular chamber size by gender and dysautonomia status.
| Female | Male | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dysautonomia (N=87) | No dysautonomia (N=47) | P-value | Dysautonomia (N=4) | No dysautonomia (N=5) | P-value | |
| LV EDV/BSA (ml/m 2 ) | 57.8 ± 17.2 | 65.0 ± 15.1 | 0.03 | 59.9 ± 10.4 | 73.3 ± 19.8 | 0.3 |
| LVIDd (mm) | 44.3 ± 6.0 | 46.7 ± 5.3 | 0.3 | 44.0 ± 2.6 | 48.2 ± 6.7 | 0.4 |
| LV mass/BSA (g/m 2 ) | 65.8 ± 16.8 | 72.0 ± 18.5 | 0.2 | 74.4 ± 22.8 | 73.0 ± 13.6 | 0.9 |
Echocardiographic data expressed as mean ± s.d.
BSA: body surface area
LVEDV: left ventricular end systolic volume
LVIDd: left ventricular internal diastolic diameter
Echocardiographic data available for individuals with and without dysautonomia respectively for the following parameters: LVIDd, N=69 and N=36; LVEDV/BSA, N=60 and N=45; LV mass/BSA, N=67 and N=40.
