Left ventricular function assessed by echocardiography. (a) Ratio of early to atrial filling (E/A ratio) for the patients without −156G allele (del/del, n=190) and with −156G allele (G/del+G/G, n=128). (b) E/A ratio for the patients with −156del/−156del (del/del, n=190), −156G/−156del (G/del, n=112) and −156G/−156G (G/G, n=16) variants. (c) Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) for the patients without −156G allele (del/del) and with −156G allele (G/del+G/G). Data are expressed as means±s.e.m. †P<0.05 vs. −156del/−156del group.
