  1. Values are median (interquartile range). * Statistically significant (p < 0.05). A = late diastolic transmitral inflow velocity, EF = ejection fraction. GLS = global longitudinal strain, LA = left atrial, E = early diastolic transmitral inflow velocity, E″septal = early diastolic tissue doppler velocity septal, E″lateral = early diastolic tissue doppler velocity lateral, hsTnT = high sensitive troponin T, LV = left ventricular, LVEDD = left ventricular enddiastolic diameter, LVMi = left ventricular muscle mass index, NT-proBNP = amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
