Values represent means ± SD, median (minimum-maximum). LA: left atrium; RA: right atrium; LVDD: left ventricle diastolic diameter; LVSD: left ventricle systolic diameter; S: interventricular septum; PW: posterior wall; RVDD: right ventricle diastolic diameter; AoR: aortic root; AoA: aortic annulus; LVESV: left ventricle end systolic volume; LAV: left atrial volume; RAV: right atrial volume; PSP: pulmonary systolic pressure; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction. (Student’s -test), (Mann-Whitney test).
