Results are presented as mean ± SD.
SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; DCT: deceleration time; MV: mitral valve; IVRT: isovolumic relaxation time; MVFP: mitral valve flow propagation; S′LM: tissue Doppler derived S′ amplitude of lateral part at mitral valve; E′Lm: tissue Doppler derived E′ amplitude of lateral part at mitral valve; A′Lm: tissue Doppler derived A′ amplitude of lateral part at mitral valve; S′Sm: tissue Doppler derived S′ amplitude of septal part at mitral valve; E′Sm: tissue Doppler derived E′ amplitude of septal part at mitral valve; A′Sm: tissue Doppler derived A′ amplitude of septal part at mitral valve.
Means high significant, means significant.
