  1. Values are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or medians (25th, 75th interquartile ranges), where appropriate.
  2. E/e’ mean as average in respective value of septal and lateral E/e’.
  3. DcT, deceleration time; LAD, left atrial diameter; LAVi, left atrium volume index; LVDD, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LV mass index, left ventricular mass index; RV FAC, right ventricular fractional area change; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
