Data expressed as mean±SD. LA, left atrium; LVEDD, LV end diastolic
diameter; LVFSF, LV end systolic diameter; LVMI, LV mass index; LVEDV,
LV end-diastolic volume; LVESV, LV end-sistolic volume; LVEF, LV
ejection fraction; WMSI, wall motion score index; E Vel, transmitral E
wave velocity; A Vel, transmitral A wave velocity; e’ Vel, septal e’
wave velocity; a’ Vel, septal a’ wave velocity. HR indicates heart rate;
SBP, systolic blood pressure; VO2, oxygen consumption;
AT, anaerobic threshold; VE, minute volume.
