Fig. 2

Left ventricular diastolic function was defined as abnormal relaxation or restrictive filling pattern by the condition described. If it could not be determined, left atrial volume index was used to define pseudonormalization or normal diastolic function. E velocity = early diastolic filling velocity, E/A = E/A ratio, DT = deceleration time, LA = left atrial
