Data represent means ± standard deviation or median with interquartile range. IVSd: interventricular septal end diastolic dimension; LVPWd: left ventricular posterior wall end diastolic dimension; LVEDd: left ventricular end diastolic dimension; SF: shortening fraction; CO: cardiac output; TAPSE: tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; TR max PG: maximum tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient; E/A: ratio of early and late left ventricular filling speed; S/D: ratio of systolic and diastolic pulmonary vein filling speed; E/E′ ratio: ratio of early diastolic peak E to E′ velocity; MV DecT: mitral valve deceleration time; ′S, ′De, ′Da: peak wall motion velocity during systole, early diastole or late diastole.
