  1. ISWT interventricular septum wall thickness, PWT posterior wall thickness, LVEDD left ventricle end-diastolic diameter, LVEDV left ventricle end-diastolic volume, LVM left ventricle mass, LVM/BSA left ventricle mass indexed for body surface area, LVMi left ventricular mass index (i.e. LVM indexed for height: LVM/Height2.7), RWT relative wall thickness, EF ejection fraction, MWFS mid-wall-fractional-shortening, E transmitral early diastolic peak flow velocity, A late diastolic flow velocity and E’ and A’ are the parameters obtained by Tissue Doppler analysis, LAD left atrium diameter, LAV 4C left atrial volume-4 chamber, LAVi left atrial volume-4 chamber indexed for body surface area
