Abbreviations: LVDd, left ventricular diastolic diameter; LVPWd, left ventricular posterior wall diastolic thickening; IVSd, interventricular septum diastolic thickening; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; E, peak early diastolic transmitral flow; A, peak late diastolic transmitral flow; DT, deceleration time; E, peak early diastolic annular velocity; A^′, peak late diastolic annular velocity; E/E^′, the ratio of E to E^′
*A 𝑃 value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
