Echocardiographic measurements.
| n | Mean ± SD | Change* | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 22 wk | ||||
| LVID (mm) | 10 | 46.98 ± 8.70 | 48.99 ± 4.61 | 2.02 ± 9.10 | .945 |
| LVPWd (mm) | 10 | 11.85 ± 6.00 | 11.77 ± 5.27 | −0.99 ± 2.18 | .625 |
| IVSd (mm) | 10 | 9.93 ± 4.68 | 9.66 ± 4.70 | −0.27 ± 1.65 | .906 |
| LVMI (g/m2) | 10 | 107.66 ± 63.31 | 111.66 ± 61.74 | 4.00 ± 13.44 | .625 |
| LVEF (%) | 10 | 67.22 ± 6.06 | 68.20 ± 6.00 | 0.98 ± 6.40 | .555 |
IVSd = interventricular septum thickness at diastole, LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction, LVID = left ventricle inner dimension, LVMI = left ventricular mass index, LVPWd = left ventricular posterior wall thickness at diastole.
