Values expressed as mean ± standard error; LVM: left ventricular mass; LVEDd: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESd: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVDT: diastolic thickness of the left ventricle; LVDT/LVEDd: ratio between LVDT and LVEDd; LA: left atrial diameter; LA/AO: ratio between LA and aortic artery diameter; EFS: endocardial fractional shortening; PWSV: posterior wall shortening velocity; E/A: ratio between the E and A waves evaluated in transmitral flow; EDT: E-wave deceleration time; IVRT: isovolumetric relaxation time; * p < 0.05 versus CD; Student’s t test.
