MCP-1: Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1; E: early peak diastolic mitral inflow velocity; A: late peak diastolic mitral inflow velocity; LAVI: left atrial volume indexed to the body surface area; TR: maximal velocity of tricuspid regurgitation; E: early peak diastolic displacement of the mitral septal annulus; SA: peak systolic left atrial reservoir strain; Sr E: peak strain rate of left atrium conduit phase; SrA: peak strain rate of left atrium contractile phase; EF: ejection fraction; GLS: global longitudinal strain. Level of value with statistical significance, Mann–Whitney test.
