  1. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 21 for both groups). p values < 0.05 indicate significant differences. Comparisons were performed by one-sample t-test in each group, and two-sample t-tests between groups. LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction, FS: fractional shortening, E/e′: ratio of mitral peak velocity of early filling to early diastolic mitral annular velocity, E/A: early filling/atrial filling ratio. *p < 0.05
