Data are shown as mean (± standard deviation) or frequency (%) and were eather assessed by transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography at baseline. Relative wall thickness was defined as two times posterior wall thickness divided by the left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic diameter and LV mass index was defined as LV mass divided by body surface area
AI aortic insufficiency, AV aortic valve, AVA aortic valve area, LV left ventricular, LVEDD left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, MI mitral valve insufficiency, PAP pulmonary artery pressure, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, TI tricuspid valve insufficiency
