Values are means (SD). A, peak flow velocity at atrial contraction; DT, deceleration time of early diastolic filling; E, peak flow velocity of early diastolic filling; E/A, ratio of E to A; EDD, left ventricular end diastolic dimension; ESD, left ventricular end systolic dimension; FS, fractional shortening; HR, heart rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
