A, late mitral diastolic inflow velocity; Am, late diastolic annular velocity; atrial FRI, atrial functional reserve index; E/E′, ratio of early mitral diastolic inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity; Ex, on exercise.
Data are mean (SD).
Tukey post hoc analysis:
↵* p<0.05 compared with healthy controls.
↵† p<0.05 compared with hypertensive group.
