Values are mean (SD).
Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with: (^*) control; (^†) DCM-like HCM; (^‡) HCM; (^§) DCM; (^¶) postmyocarditis.
CI, cardiac index; PCWP, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; HR, heart rate; LVEDVI and LVESVI, left ventricular end diastolic and end systolic volume index; EF, left ventricular ejection fraction; IVST and PWT, interventricular septal and left ventricular posterior wall thickness.
