CTR: cardiothoracic ratio; IVSDd: interventricular septum diastolic diameter; LVEDd: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESd: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVM: left ventricular mass; LVMI: left ventricular mass index; PWDd: posterior wall diastolic diameter; RWT: relative wall thickness.
